    • Ego Chanut Dei gratia rex Anglorum pro emolumento in celestibus nanciscendo terram que Rammesleah dicitur cum portu suo omnibusque rebus ad se pertinentibus Sancte Trinitatis monasterii monachis sicut rex Etheldredus se daturum promisit sed morte preuentus minus hoc adimpleuit perpetualiter subicio, ut interuentores habeam quos huiusmodi relevo solatio. Ego Aelfgiuu regina huic dono consensi. Ego Aelfie episcopus subscripsi. Ego Leofsie episcopus signaui. Gaudium, pax et karitas huic libertati consentientibus amen.
