  • + In the name of the One Enthroned on High Who alone rules and governs all things omnipotently forever. I, Cuthred, king of the dwellers in Kent, with the agreement of Cenwulf, king of the Mercians, and these witnesses who bear the names that are written below, will give to Æthelnoth, my most faithful prefectus, land of 3 sulungs in the province of Kent in the place that is called Eythorne in return for an agreed sum of money, that is, 3 thousand pence. And accordingly let the aforementioned land now be given into his power with the correct boundaries and remain firmly fixed by hereditary right. And also it should continue free, within and without, from all secular services, without any burden or injury for major or minor reasons, so that he may have the freedom of exchanging or giving it during his lifetime and after his death he may have the power of bequeathing it to whomsoever he might wish. No kings or bishops or principes, now or in the future, should dare to despise these [decrees] without rendering an account before God and before His angels on the day of the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. + I, Cenwulf, king of the Mercians, in agreeing to this gift subscribe. + I, Cuthred, king of Kent, will confirm and I subscribe this gift of mine with the mark of the holy cross of Christ. + I, Wulfred, by the grace of God archbishop [of Canterbury], agreed and subscribed. + I, Cenwald, agreed and subscribed. + I, Oswulf, agreed and subscribed. + I, Ealdberht, agreed and subscribed. + I, Wealh, agreed and subscribed. + I, Æthelgeard, agreed and subscribed. + I, Beorhtnoth, agreed and subscribed. + I, Ceolnoth, agreed and subscribed. + Wulfred, archbishop [of Canterbury]. + Ealdwulf, bishop [of Lichfield]. + Werenberht, bishop [of Leicester]. + Deneberht, bishop [of Worcester]. + Tidfrith, bishop [of Dunwich]. + Ealhheard, bishop [of Elmham]. + Eadwulf, bishop [of Lindsey]. + Wulfheard, bishop [of Hereford]. + Beornmod, bishop [of Rochester]. + Wigberht, bishop [of Sherborne]. + Ealhmund, bishop [of Winchester]. + Wihthun, bishop [of Selsey]. + Wigmund, priest [and] abbot. + Beonna, priest [and] abbot [of Medeshamstede].
