    • + Archbishop Eadsige states in this gospel book that Tokig sent his two cnihtas to me at [Monks] Risborough– one called Sexa, the other Leofwine – and requested me that the agreement should stand that Archbishop Æthelnoth and he had reached about the estate at Halton: that he should have the use of it during his life and after his day it should go to Christ Church. And I granted him this, with the witness of many good men and of all my household, both of ecclesiastics and of laymen.
