Baldric giving a charter of liberties to the citizens of Noyon in 1108. Painting by Louis-Jean Beaupuy [fr ] between 1942 and 1945.
Baldric or Balderic [ a] was the forty-second bishop of Tournai and Noyon (1099–1112).[ 1] He was born in Artois and was a canon and cantor in the dioceses of Cambrai and Thérouanne prior to becoming bishop.[ 2]
The Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai has mistakenly been attributed to him.[ 1] His surviving acta include the charter of 1105 by which he awarded the right of presentment for Tielt to the chapter of St Salvator in Harelbeke .[ 3]
