    • Eadwardus rex Ulf episcopo, Siwardo comiti, Alfrico vicecomiti 7 omnibus ministris suis de Huntendone schire salutem. Notum uobis sit me dedisse Deo 7 Sancto Benedicto 7 Alfwino abbati de Ramesia terram de Broctona quam egomet ibi habui cum saca 7 soca in omnibus, 7 nulli homini hanc donacionem immutare permitto. Quod si quis post dies meos hoc minuere uel mutare ausus fuerit siue clericus sit siue laicus, segregetur ille a Christo 7 a Sancti Benedicti 7 omnium sanctorum consorcio 7 nisi hic emendauerit quod temere deliquit penas infernales cum demonibus sorciatur. Heading: Item carta ipsius de terra 7 soca quam dedit apud Broctonam.
