Anonymous (advocates of Farfa) Litigant (acting) in FAR 2:166
Benedict Abbot of Farfa (802?-812?). Date of death is normally fixed at 815 (see also Costambeys, Power, p. 162), probably considering the first known year of the abbacy of Benedict's successor, Ingoald. Il Regesto di Farfa, p. 143, says Benedict was the eleventh abbot of the monastery, ruling for 10 years, 5 months and 3 days, and that he died 3 days before the Ides of August ("Undecimus denique huic monasterio pater vir venerabilis Benedictus praefuit annos .X. et .V. menses, diesque .III. Obiit in pace .III. Idus Augusti"). Considering that the previous abbot, Mauroald, is still alive in August 801 (see FAR 2:170), and that on 13th of June 803 Benedict, acting in the name and on behalf of the monastery, receives from Charlemagne a diploma confirming to Farfa all the possessions, his abbacy likely starts from 7 March 802.
Donnus* Prepositus of Farfa, acting as exchanger in FAR 2:178 and Litigant in FAR 2:183
Farfa, S Mary None
Guelantus* Monk of Farfa, acting as Litigant in FAR 2:184. Much probably the same said to be monk (and "prepositus") of S. Angel, dependant on Farfa, in FAR 2:208 (where he's named "Quelantus")
Hilderic II Reatine gastald, mentioned in dating clauses and in a couple of notarial subscriptions of some Farfa charters in 792/793-801 and acting as witness and donor up to 817. In contrast with Costambeys, we have to distinguish this agent from the homonymous gastald (id. 5732) whose career as public official, though not without interruption, can be retraced back to 766. While the first gastald is said to be son of Taciperga and married with Hilciperga in 773 and 786 (CDL 5:60 and CDL 5:100), Hilderic (II)'s wife is Sinda, as we can read in a charter of 814 (“Anno imperii domni Ludogvici .I. et Bernardi regis Langobardorum .II”), where “Hildericus castaldius unacum Sinda coniuge mea” receives back "in precariam" from the abbot of Farfa a "curtis" located "in massa Interocrina" that was previously donated to the monastery.
