  Translation

  • Edward by God’s grace king of England, [I] greet all my bishops and all my earls and all my sheriffs and all my thegns in the shires in which Archbishop Stigand and the community at Christ Church have land, in friendship. And I make known to you that I have granted them that they be entitled to all the lands that they had in the time of all my predecessors and in my time, to sake and soke, on strand and in stream, in woodland and in open country, to toll and to team, to breach of the peace and to hamsocn, to foresteall and to infangenetheof and to flymenafyrmth, over their own men within boroughs and without, as fully and to the same extent as my own officials would exercise it, and over as many thegns as they have. And I do not wish that anyone take anything therefrom except themselves and their bailiffs to whom they wish to commit it, because I have given these rights to Christ for the eternal salvation of my soul. And I will not permit anyone to violate this on [pain of losing] my full friendship. And if anyone be so presumptuous as ever to alter this bequest or to consent to its being altered, may be the companion of Judas who betrayed Christ and may the Lord bring him perdition for ever to all eternity. Amen.
