Font Notes:
In his entry for this locality, Melleville (1848) writes: "L'autel de ce village fut donné par Radbod, évoque de Noyon, à l'église de St-Quentin, en 1090." [NB: Radbod II was bishop of Noyon 1068-1098, but the actual archival document attesting to the donation of the altar to the church at Roupy appears to refer to an earlier bishop, Hardouin de Croï [cf. infra]]. The approximate date of the original church here is documented in the Archives départementales de l'Oise, 'Inventaire-sommaire des Archives départementales antérieures à 1790' (Tome 1er -- G1 à G2352 -- section "XIIIe-XIVe siècles. Cartulaire du Chapitre". (1878: 317 and 318): "l'église de Roupy (Aisne), ["du pagus Vermandensis"] donnée par une dame nommée Cécile, et son autel donné par le dit évêque" [i.e., "l'évêque Hardouin de Croï" -- this bishop, donnor of the altar of the church, appears in the episcopal list of the Evêché de Noyon [formerly évêché de Vermand] with office dates "1000-1030". He is preceded in the list by "Radbod 1er" (989-997), and followed by "Hugues" (1030-1044)] [source: http://monumentshistoriques.free.fr/cathedrales/noyon/eveques.html [accessed 27 January 2014]]. [NB: we have no other information on the font destroyed here in WWI].
