  • I, Badanoth Beotting, declare and write how it is my wish that my heritable land (which I acquired and bought from King Æthelwulf with full freedom in perpetual inheritance) should go after my day and that of my heirs, namely my wife and my children. First I wish to give myself up to God Almighty in the foundation at Christ Church, and to place my children there, and entrust my wife and children to the ‘lord’ and to the community and to the foundation after my day, for peace and protection and ‘lordship’ in the things that they need. And they shall enjoy the estate during their lifetime, and entertain the community with a feast at my anniversary, as best they can afford. And the community shall commemorate us in their divine services, as shall be beneficial for us and charitable in them. And after the lives of my wife and children, I command in the name of God that that estate be given to the community for their ‘table’ as a perpetual inheritance, to use as shall be most pleasing to them. And I request the community, for the love of God, that the person to whom the community bestows the estate shall fulfil the same condition for providing a feast on my anniversary, as my successors may have instituted beforehand and for divine benefit for my soul. Then it is my wish that there should be two of these documents the same: one the community shall keep one with their charters, the other my heirs for their day. Further, of the estate which I grant to the community, there is sixteen yokes of arable land and of meadow [some words deleted], all both to be enjoyed as a perpetual inheritance in my day and afterwards, so to be applied as shall be best advised and dearest to me. + Ceolnoth, archbishop writes and confirms this with the mark of Christ’s cross. + Ealhhere, dux, write and approves this + Bægmund, priest [and] abbot, writes and approves this + Hysenoth, priest, writes and approves this + Wigmund, priest + Badenoth, priest + Osmund, priest + Swithberht, deacon + Dyddel + Cichus + Sigemund + Æthelwulf + Tile + Cyneberht + Æthelred + Badanoth
