  Translation

  • In the name of the Lord. I, Edward, by the Grace of God king of the Anglo-Saxons, at the entreaty of the venerable community of the church of Malmesbury, have given a small piece of my land, that is, of 5 hides, to the aforementioned community, in the place that is called Hankerton, in exchange for another estate of the same extent [in the place] that rustics call Farmborough, as an eternal inheritance. The aforementioned lands are free from all secular burdens. I have made this exchange at the entreaty of the brethren for their convenience because the land I have given to the aforementioned brothers is only two miles from their monastery; that which I have received, on the other hand, is almost 20 miles from the aforementioned monastery. If any kings or principes, however, should audaciously presume to destroy this liberty (which we do not want), may he be cursed on the Day of the Last Judgment, unless he should make a worthy atonement because he presumed to act wickedly. This charter was written in the year from the incarnation of the Lord 901, in indiction 7. + Edward, king + Ealhswith, mother of the king + Ælfflæd, wife of the king + Ocea, minister + Uffa, minister + Beorhthelm, minister + Ælfheah, minister + Æthelweard, minister
