  Translation

  • I, Ordlaf, grant a small amount of land from my property that I purchased from a venerable man, Dudig with the authorisation of my lord, Edward, the most glorious king, for a completely acceptable sum of money, bestowing it on the community of St Saviour living in the place called in the past Malduberi, which place in our tongue is called Maldumesburg [i.e., Malmesbury], that is, of four hides [in the place] rustics call Chelworthy, as an eternal inheritance, bestowing [it] in exchange for another property, that is, of 5 hides, in the place that is called Mannington. The aforementioned lands are free from all secular burdens, except for military service and the construction of bridge and fortress. May everlasting peace remain to those agreeing to this charter. Shame on those opposing, however, and a place with those in Hell unless they should atone with a penance in this world. The writing of this charter was executed in the year of the Lord’s incarnation 801, with those witnesses consenting whose names are recorded here below. + Edward, king + Wulfsige, bishop + Oslaf, dux + Ælfric, minister + Uffa, minister + Wulfric, minister + Wærwulf, minister + Athelweard, minister + Æthelhelm, minister + Wihtbrord, minister + Wulfhun, minister + Wulfhelm, minister + Burgstan + Cynestan + Burghelm, priest + Wulfric, priest + Wulfhelm, clericus + Æthelred + Wulfred + Cynewen + Eanstan + Tata + Æstan + Cynemund + Beornstan + Burgstan + Æstan + Eanwulf + Wulfhelm + Cynefrith + Heahwulf + Abunel + Eanwulf + Ælfheah + Burgstan + Ælfeth + Wulfred + Beornstan
