Agreement (1)

Ćthelwine 2-Ely 1.exchanging land: Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 and his brothers laid claim to the 40 hides at Hatfield (Herts.) which King Edgar 11 had granted to Ely 1, saying that their father, Ealdorman Ćthelstan 26, had acquired the land in exchange for his inheritance, which was in the region called Devon, but that King Edgar 11 had forcibly deprived him of it. When, therefore, their claim had been set forth in narrative and demonstration, the claimants prevailed and, ignoring the respect due to the Holy Church, seized the land and appropriated it for themselves. The brothers [of Ely], however, seeing that they could in no way be deprived of the land without great loss, in view of the fact that they did not have forest elsewhere from which they could meet their needs, made a request to the aforementioned Ćthelwine 2 and, when agreement with him had been reached, bought from him the land at Hatfield. They gave for it two pieces of land which Wulfstan 16 of Dalham gave to Ely 1 when he died, namely 30 hides at Hemingford Abbots, and 6 at Wennington, adding, as well, 5 hides at Yelling which Wulfwine 8 cocus and his wife Ćlfswith 13 forfeited for their wrongdoing, on many counts and with the public as witness. These proceedings were transacted in the place which is called Slaughter (Gloucs.), in the presence of Ealdorman Ćlfhere 10, Ćthelwine 2, and Ćlfric Cild 2 ... and in the presence of the whole retinue accompanying them. In order, moreover, that this agreement should be fixed and incontestable, Ćthelmćr 13 Cild and Ćlfwald 42 were guarantors and witnesses of this matter.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.7 / LĆ 5
