Here's the passage regarding Oliver in the 1836 Francisque Michel edition:
"Prenget li reis sa fille qui tant ad bloi le peil En sa cambre nus metet en un lit en requeit Si jo n’el ai anut testimonie de lui cent feiz Demain perde la teste, par covent le otrai."
Page 20. Not knowing why it was originally tagged with 'dubious', it's hard for me to reply any further. I think the sense of testimonie is euphemistic, but pretty clear. What else could it refer to? Renard Migrant (talk) 13:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
In fact it comes up again on page 29:
Ci astat Oliver, qui dist si grant folie Que une sule nuit avereit cent feiz ma fille.
Astat seems to be a variant of estat (stands; is standing). Renard Migrant (talk) 14:53, 16 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
