  • + In the 805th year from the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ, in indiction 13. I, Cuthred, king of Kent, with the authorisation of Cenwulf, king of Mercia, in the eighth year of my reign granted by God, will give in perpetuity to Wulfred, sitting on the throne of the archiepiscopate, two sulungs of land. And that land is assembled in the western part of 15 hides that is called Buckholt. These two sulungs mentioned above are called by certain people the ‘field of cattle’, that is, hrithra leah. I shall undertake to hand over this aforementioned land to him in this way, as it were, as a contract for the price of 30 mancuses so that he may have the common wood according to ancient custom with other men. Also the power is given to him to hold the land freely as long as he lives and afterwards bequeath it in eternal freedom to whichever person he should wish. If anyone should increase this generous gift, may his life be increased by God; if anyone should diminish it, which God forbid!, may glory in Christ be diminished for him unless he atone with a penance. Marks of this confirmation are set forth in the very famous place called Aclea on the 26th of July, on the Sabbath day when Christ was transfigured. + I, Cenwulf, agreed and subscribed. + I, Cuthred, king of Kent, agreed and subscribed. + Ealdwulf, bishop [of Lichfield]. + Werenberht, bishop [of Leicester]. + Deneberht, bishop [of Worcester]. + Eadwulf, bishop [of Lindsey]. + Wulfheard, bishop [of Hereford]. + Ealhheard, bishop [of Elmham]. + Tidfrith, bishop [of Dunwich]. + Osmund, bishop [of London]. + Wihthun, bishop [of Selsey]. + Wigberht, bishop [of Sherborne]. + Ealhmund, bishop [of Winchester]. + Beornmod, bishop [of Rochester]. + Ealhmund, abbot. + Beonna, abbot [of Medeshamstede]. + Wærnoth, abbot [of St Augustine’s, Canterbury]. + Dudamom, abbot. + Feologeld, abbot. + Heahberht, dux. + Beornnoth, dux. + Cynehelm, dux. + Tidwulf, dux. + Wigcga, dux. + Ceolweard, dux. + Ceolberht, dux. + Dynne, dux. + Wigheard, dux. + Beornwald, dux. + Heardberht, comes. + Cuthred, priest.
