Bulgarus, filius quondam Petri Ferrarii, and Airaldus Brugnolus, here professed sunt vivere lege Longobardorum, vendiderunt Bernardo de Montebello pro precio Papiensium nominative casam unam ... ", or also from the name Bulgarellus, which we find in a writing of 1100:" For idem t empus invitatus est reverentissimus Iohannes to Guilihelmo comite, here et Bulgarellus vocabatur, et a monachis Septimensis monasterii, quatenus id sub regimine susciperet sua. ", the names came from the presence of Hun mercenaries following the Longobards.
