Ćthelwold 1.mircaculous releasing of Edwin 14: After Edwin 14 had committed a theft, Ćthelwold 1 addressed all the fraternity in the chapter-house as three days and three nights had gone by without the stolen object being found. Ćthelwold 1 ordered the thief to be bound in body as well as soul and as soon as the brethren said 'Amen', Edwin 14 was tied up in his seat, his hands attached to each other beneath his cowl. When they stood up, the monk went up to Ćthelwold 1 and told him in secret that he was guilty of the theft. As soon as Ćthelwold 1 forgave him and gave him his blessing, the monk's hands were freed, though the bishop was unaware of it.: Wulfstan Cantor.VitĆthelwoldi 33

Accusation (4)

Edgar 11.restoring Oslac 10's land to him: Oslac 10 was accused before King Edgar 11, and the king ordered that he be dispossessed of all his land and deprived of all his possessions. Oslac 10 asked Bishop Ćthelwold 1 to be his intercessor and defender with the king. This the bishop did and the king restored everything to Oslac 10 for love of Bishop Ćthelwold 1, on condition that Oslac 10 paid Edgar 11 100 mancuses.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.19 / LĆ 29

Leofric 61.disputing arrangement with Ćthelwold 1: After the death of King Edgar 11, Leofric 61 of Brandon tried, unsuccessfully, to annul the whole of the agreement which he had made with Bishop Ćthelwold 1. But the lawmen Eadric 50 Rufus, Leofric 62 of Berle, and Sigefrith 22 the Mad, who had been involved in this matter and had been witnesses, declared him to be guilty.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.8 / LĆ 6

Oslac 10.granting to and disputing with Ćthelwold 1: Oslac 10 was accused before King Edgar 11, and the king ordered that he be dispossessed of all his land and deprived of all his possessions. Oslac 10 asked Bishop Ćthelwold 1 to be his intercessor and defender with the king. This the bishop did and the king restored everything to Oslac 10 for love of Bishop Ćthelwold 1, on condition that Oslac 10 paid Edgar 11 100 mancuses. Oslac 10, lacking the funds, borrowed 40 mancuses from the bishop and promised to give him 40 acres at Cambridge, and a farm and the third part of a wood at Dullingham. He sent Hawerd 2, his kinsman, to Ely to give the land to the bishop on behalf of Oslac 10. After the death of King Edgar 11, Oslac 10 annulled the gift. The abbot of Ely [Beorhtnoth 19] sent Wine 18 to him and to Ordhelm 6 and his sons [Anonymi 10031] and asked them to appear against Oslac 10 by the bridge at Cambridge. Oslac 10 denied making a gift of the land but admitted liability for the debt of 40 mancuses and asked that the 40 acres and land at Dullingham be assessed. They were valued at 26 mancuses and Oslac 10 agreed to pay the remaining 14 mancuses.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.19 / LĆ 29

Ćthelwold 1.purchasing Horningsea from Edgar 11: After the death of Herolf 1, priest of Horningsea, and the succession of Ćthelstan 70, Bishop Ćthelwold 1 bought Horningsea 1 from King Edgar 11 for 50 mancuses. The Wulfstan 16 ordered that Ćthelwold 1 should measure the land which the priest Ćthelstan 70 held, specifically 3 hides of 12-score acres. Ćthelstan 70 then set about seizing Eye for himself and giving testimony that it was rightfully his. He sought out Wulfstan 16 and gave allegiance to him and promised him that he would sell him Eye at whatever price he chose to put on it, provided that he support him against Bishop Ćthelwold 1, because the bishop was laying charges against him regarding the treasures of the church, which he and Herolf 1 had removed. In this manner, Wulfstan 16 acquired Eye through the mendacity of a priest and for a small sum of money.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.32 / LĆ 42

Advice/counsel (4)

S876 - Ćthelred 32 confirming privileges of Abingdon 1: King Ćthelred 32 mentioned the [unspecified ] difficulties which he and his kingdom had faced since the death of his mentor, Ćthelwold 1. The king was penitent for the decisions taken in his youth with the counsel of greedy men - Bishop Wulfgar 28, Ealdorman Ćlfric 87 - and for being persuaded to infringe on the liberty of Abingdon 1 in return for money. This liberty Ćthelwold had acquired for the monastery from the kings Eadred 16, Eadwig 4, and Edgar 11. A synod was conveyed in Winchester at Pentecost to renew / restore the lost liberty. Ćthelred 32 here renounces the payment he accepted from Ćlfric 87 in return for awarding Edwin 15, Ćlfric 87's brother, the abbacy. The confirmation of the synod's conclusions was made in the oratory at Gillingham after the celebration of mass in the presence of the king, Abbot Ćlfsige 81, Ćthelmćr 22, and Ordwulf 4, the king's uncle. Ćthelred 32 gave lordship of Abingdon to Abbot Wulfgar 28; his successor was to be chosen by the brethren in accordance with : S876 (993)

Anonymous 570 did this and, as soon as he had begged for a cure, he felt the presence of a sudden remedy. Anonymous 570 got up and was then able to return home and use his own feet. A short time after Anonymous 570 had been cured, he took a few men in a boat to Winchester and reported everything that had happened to Ćthelwold 1.: Wulfstan.NarrMetrSwithuno ii.18, pp. 542-4

Ćthelwold 1-Dunstan 1.religious-house-foundations: With Edgar 11's consent monasteries were founded everywhere, partly by the counsel and action of Dunstan 1 and partly by that of Ćthelwold 1, some with monks, some with nuns, living according to the rule under abbots and abbesses.: Ćlfric.VitĆthelwoldi 18

Agreement (7)

Agreement between Old Minster and New Minster, Winchester: This agreement was established between Old Minster and New Minster, as I [Edwin 49] myself heard it (i.e. the agreement) when I was young. Our lord St Ćthelwold 1 was lying sick, and the holy Dunstan 1 came to him from Canterbury to visit him. And our superior, Abbot Ćthelgar 8, went there, and monks with him, namely Boia 4 the old, and Ćlfric 150 the prior, and Ćlfnoth 46 the painter, and Ćlfwine 54 who is now abbot. And there came monks from Old Minster, namely Ealdwig 3, and Wulfstan 61 the precentor, and Godwine 69 the prior, and many others with him. Then Boia 4 the old monk arose, knelt before St Ćthelwold 1, and prayed him that he would establish good regulations between the two minsters in the monks’ days, just as Bishop Frithestan 1 had established in the priests’ days: namely, that the two communities should be one in every divine service; and that was to say, if any priest died in either foundation, they should come all together and bury the body and perform all the services that belong to God; and on the day of the consecration of the church, in Old Minster, the priest from New Minster should come to Old Minster, and be present there at vespers and at nocturns and at mass and at refection; and the priests from Old Minster should come to New Minster on St Judoc’s day just in the same way. And if there were misconduct on the part of any priest in either monastery, he should not go anywhere but he should seek his neighbours and they would intercede for him. When St Ćthelwold 1 heard this, lo, he decreed that it should so be now in his time and in that of the monks; and he pronounced the curse of God on all those who should ever undo this. And he gave as a token that the agreement should stand firm, two brown copes, one to Old Minster, and a second to New Minster. : S1428

Agreement concerning land in Somerset: Archbishop Dunstan 1 assigned Taunton to Bishop Ćthelwold 1 in conformity with the bishop’s charters. And King Edgar 11 then relinquished it, and commanded every one of his thegns who had any land on the estate that they should hold it in conformity with the bishop’s wish, or else give it up. And the king then said that he had no land to grant out, when he durst not, for fear of God, retain the headship himself; and moreover he then put Ruishton under the bishop’s control. And then Wulfgyth 4 rode to me at Combe and sought me. And Emma 2 then, because she was her kinswoman, and Ćlfswith 14 because he (i.e. Leofric 74) was her brother, obtained from Bishop Ćthelwold 1 that they (i.e. Wulfgyth 4 and Leofric 74) might enjoy the land for their lifetime, and after their death the land should go to Taunton, with produce and men, just as it stood. And with great difficulty the two brought matters to this conclusion. : S1242

Ćthelwold 1-Beorhtnoth 19.purchasing land from Ćlfric 123: Bishop Ćthelwold 1 and Abbot Beorhtnoth 19 sought to buy 2 hides at Downham held jointly by two brothers, Ćlfric 123 and Leofwine 76, the sons of Hereric 2, comes. Ćlfric 123, the elder brother, exchanged lands with his brother, giving him land at Chippenham which their mother [Anonymous 10046] had bequeathed. Later Ćlfric 123 was burdened with a heavy imposition of tax and offered Ćthelwold 1 and Beorhtnoth 19 the 2 hides at Downham in return for 3 hides which they had at Chippenham on condition they give him an additional sum of money. Ćthelwold 1 and Beorhtnoth 19 exchanged the lands and gave Ćlfric 123 4 pounds. This agreement and exchange was made close by Cambridge to the south, in the presence of the whole populace of that region. Ćlfric 123 granted the land to Abbot Beorhtnoth 19 before 24 judges [Anonymi 10029] in the aforesaid place, and then did the same in the presence of witnesses. Bishop Ćthelwold 1 gave him 10 solidi and Abbot Beorhtnoth 19 gave him 20 solidi of sheep and a horse worth 10 solidi. Ćlfric 123 thus received 6 pounds and 3 hides at Chippenham. The abbot and Ćlfric 123 exchanged cattle and the grain which was in the storehouses in the two places, that is Ćlfric 123 surrendered 15 cart-loads of grain at Downham to the abbot and the abbot gave up the same amount at Chippenham. Ćlfric 123 also handed over 30 acres of sown land and the abbot the same amount at Chippenham, and gave him 48 as a gift. : Anon.LiberEliensis II.11 / LĆ 13

Ćthelwold 1.buying land from Heanric 2: Bishop Ćthelwold 1 bought Gransden from Heanric 2 of Wantage for two hundred mancuses. ... And that agreement was made before them all with the stipulation that, if anyone ever at another time wished to make a claim to that land, Heanric 2 and his heirs would pay two hundred mancuses to the bishop, and they themselves would bear the quarrel with the claimants. : Anon.LiberEliensis LE II.46 / LĆ 57

Ćthelwold 1.leasing land to Ćthelwine 2: At one time the bishop and the abbot and Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 made an agreement among themselves that Ćthelwine 2 should hold from them Sudbourne and Stoke and Woodbridge and six hundreds which belong to Sudbourne. He did so and paid them ten pounds for these lands every year at the due time of the rogation days.: Anon.LiberEliensis LE II.41 / LĆ 52

Ćthelwold 1.purchasing land from Wulfnoth 25: Bishop Ćthelwold 1 and Wulfnoth 25 met at Taunton and discussed the possibility of the bishop buying Bluntisham from him. When the agreement was made, a purchase price was settled of 30 pounds, and Wulfnoth 25 sent his elder son [Anonymous 10052] to Ely for the money, and there received 100 solidi from Abbot Beorhtnoth 19; the 25 pounds which remained were give afterwards in the presence of King Edgar 11. Wulfnoth 25 then granted Bluntisham to the bishop with charter. When this had been done, Abbot Beorhtnoth 19 gave to Wulfnoth 25, 7 pounds for all the holdings on the land at Bluntisham: men, stock, and grain.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.25 / LĆ 35

Assembly (11)

Dispute between Ćthelwold 1, Leofsige 28 and Sifflćd 2: A summary of the dispute between Bishop Ćthelwold 1 and Leofsige 28 and Sifflćd 2.

Ćthelwold 1 from Leofsige 28 and his wife Sifflćd 2; purchase of 2 hides at Downham for 15 pounds. Leofwine 75, provost, and Wine 11 of Witchford, brought him 10 pounds of that money. A payment date was set for the remaining 5 pounds. At a second meeting Leofsige 28 and Sifflćd 2, his wife, purchase from Bishop Ćthelwold 1 5 hides at Clayhithe for 15 pounds, on condition that Ćthelwold 1 give them a silver cup worth 40 solidi which Beorhtsige, father of Leofsige 28, bequeathed to the bishop on his death. Before Leofsige 28 and Sifflćd 2 handed back the 10 pounds, King Edgar 11 died, and the couple made void the whole agreement that they had had with the bishop. In the meantime Leofsige 28 seized Peterborough, Oundle and Kettering from God and St Peter. A meeting was convened in London where, it being a time when duces, principles, satrape, rhetores and causidici had gathered from every region, Ćthelwold 1 summoned the aforesaid Leofsige 28 to justice. The witan restored Peterborough, Oundle, and Kettering to Ćthelwold 1 and ruled that Leofsige 28 should pay compensation to the bishop to the value of his ‘mund’, and for the violence pay compensation to the king to the amount of his wergild. They met again within 8 days at Northampton, where the people of that region gave the same verdict as had been given at London. Then Leofsige 28 died shamefully and miserably after which time Ćthelwold 1 and Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2, with the shire of Northampton and the most prominent men of the East Angles, held at Wansford a meeting of the 8 hundreds. It was decided that Sifflćd 2, widow of Leofsige 28, and her heirs, ought to pay compensation to God and the bishop, just as Leofsige 28 would have done had he lived. They assessed the amount of damage to the bishop at more than 100 pounds. Sifflćd 2 asked the bishop that she might pay the compensation which was due from her, in addition to what her sons [Anonymi 10028] owed, with the 100 solidi which the bishop had been going to give her for the 2 hides at Downham. The bishop remitted the whole of the damage which had been awarded against her and, in addition, said to her that she could come to Ely within 8 days and collect the 100 solidi from Abbot Beorhtnoth 19. This she did before the witness of 2 hundreds. The bishop also gave her 7 pounds for her corn which was on the land at Downham. : Anon.LiberEliensis II.11 / LĆ 10

Edgar 11.second translation of Swithhun 5: Edgar 11 dispatched Anonymi 1629 with the new shrine and ordered them into the service of Swithhun 5. Anonymi 1632 were to join the celebration by proceeding barefoot over three miles. Anonymi 1632 did indeed proceed barefoot and when they saw Anonymi 1629 they rejoiced at meeting them. When Anonymi 1632 spied the distinguished shrine they fell to the ground and worshipped Swithhun 5; then, they followed the feretory and returned to the town. Anonymi 1631 could be heard singing and clapping. Anonymi 1629 and Anonymi 1632 arrived together through the western gate of Winchester and immediately Anonymous 613 approached the crowd of people. After Anonymous 613 had been cured, Swithhun 5 was carried into the holy church in celebration and Ćthelwold 1 placed the shrine upon the altar. Then, the entire day was spent in songs and praise and Anonymi 1629 returned to the service of Edgar 11.: Wulfstan.NarrMetrSwithuno ii.1, pp. 492-6

Ely 1.dispute over Bluntisham: When King Edgar 11 died, the sons [Anonymi 10033] of Boga 2 of Hemingford laid claim to Bluntisham, saying that their uncle, Tope 1 ought to have the land by right of inheritance as his grandmother [Anonymous 10053] had gone across from Bluntisham and petitioned King Edward 12 at Cambridge at the time when Earl Toli 1 had taken Huntingdonshire against the king by force and, for this reason, she should by right have held the land as her own. The wise and old men of the district who remembered well the time when Earl Toli 1 had been killed at the River Thames, pronounced all this spurious. They said, in addition, that King Edward 12 had conquered Huntingdonshire and brought it under his control before he took control of Cambridgeshire. They asserted that there was no land so free in the whole of Huntingdonshire that it could not be lost through forfeiture, apart from 2 hides at Bluntisham which Ćlfsige 83 Cild held and another two near Spaldwick. And they decided that Wulfnoth 25 should give peaceful possession of Bluntisham to Bishop Ćthelwold 1 or give back the money he had received. Then Ealdorman Byrhtnoth 1 and Ćlfwald 65 and Eadric 55 called all of Huntingdonshire together. Wulfnoth 25 was summoned as were the sons of Boga 2. Wulfnoth 25 brought with him many loyal men (the better people of six hundreds), and the monk Leofsige 33 of Ely produced the charter of Bluntisham. The estate was then taken from the sons of Boga 2 for two reasons: they had lied in all they had said about Tope 1 and his grandmother; the person who had the charter was nearer to having the land than the one who did not. Then Wulfnoth 25 produced more than a thousand loyal men in order to establish his claim through sworn testimony, but the sons of Boga 2 would not accept the oath. Everyone decided, therefore, that Wulfnoth 25 should have Bluntisham. When this was all done, Bishop Ćthelwold 1 gave Wulfnoth 25 40 solidi and a war-horse worth 3 marks because he had worked hard on this action and because he was about to cross the sea in the service of his lord.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.25 / LĆ 35

Swithhun 5.translation: After the blind woman (Anonymous 593) had been cured at the tomb of Swithhun 5, Ćthelwold 1 gave orders for the shrine to be lifted. The shrine was removed and then tents were put up so that people would not rush upon the saint and so that the enclosure was only accessible to a few attendants. After the completion of Vespers, the first procession of monks began, in chants, to praise Swithhun 5. In the night, many of the faithful prepared twinkling lamps and went to see the saint. On Saturday 15 July Ćthelwold 1 was present along with Ćlfstan 38 (Abbot of the Old Minster) and with Ćthelgar 8 (Abbot of the New Minster) and they were all dressed in holy vestments and accompanied by the communities from both the Old and New Minsters. Both communities advanced bearing candles and burning Sabaean incense. Ćthelwold 1 chanted and everyone echoed his words. After the crowd had been removed from around the body of Swithhun 5, a few people entered the tents which enclosed the holy tomb. While all present were chanting the psalms in order, the first to excavate the earth was Ćthelwold 1. When the mass of the lid had been removed with three poles, the tomb was laid open and they at once found the treasure whose discovery had been predicted to the smith (Anonymous 526). When the body was brought forth into the light, a wonderful odour filled the entire town. With apprehension they touched the precious body, washed it and wrapped it in a clean shroud and enclosed it in a new shrine and placed it on a feretory. When the body had been translated, Ćthelwold 1 began a hymn. After this the doors were opened and the entire host entered and Ćthelwold 1 celebrated mass at the saint's head. All the bells were ringing and the noise of the bells and the voices of men resounded together.: Wulfstan.NarrMetrSwithuno i.5, pp. 454-60 (971)

Wihtgar 11.exchanging with Ćthelwold 1: When the leading men of England had gathered at London, that same Wihtgar 11 offered to sell the land to Bishop Ćthelwold 1. When they heard this the bishop and abbot gave him fifteen pounds for the land in the witness of Leofric 24, the son of Ćthelfrith 23, and Ufi 7 of Willingham. They afterwards sent him a hundred shillings by the reeve Leofwine 96 and Wine 11 of Witchford. These men gave him the money at Brandon in the witness of the whole hundred in which the land is situated. They further bought from Wihtgar all the stock which was on the land, in accordance with its assessed value.: Anon.LiberEliensis LE II.34 / LĆ 46

Wynsige 1-Ely 1.dispute over Swaffham: A meeting was held at Whittlesford at which Wynsige 1, kinsman of Wulfric 70, rose and claimed the land at Swaffham saying that he and his kinsmen were being unfairly deprived of the land, because they had nothing for it, that is, neither land nor the money-equivalent of land. When this claim had been heard, Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 asked whether anyone among the people knew how Wulfstan 57 had acquired the land. Ćlfric 122 of Witcham said that Wulfstan 57 had bought it from Wynsige 1 for 8 pounds. And so that what he had said might be believed, he bought in, for purposes of testimony, eight hundreds from the southern part of Cambridgeshire. He said, furthermore, that Wulfstan 57 had given Wynsige 1 the 8 pounds in 2 instalments, but sent the last part of the money and the last penny to him through Leofwine 77, son of Ćthulf 4, who gave him the money wrapped in a glove, in the sight of the eight hundreds in which the land referred to had, perchance, been situated. Accordingly, once these matters had been heard about, they made the decision that the bishop and abbot should have the 2 hides at Swaffham free from any claim. If, moreover, Wynsige 1, or his kinsmen had been wishing to exact money, they should have exacted it from the heirs of Wulfstan 57 and not from anyone else. Afterwards Bishop Ćthelwold 1 and Abbot Beorhtnoth 19 granted these 2 hides and 70 acres to Eadric 58 on condition that he leave it to Ely with all its stock and equipment.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.34

There were many other bishops as well, and nobles and ealdormen as well as the great majority of the English royal thegns (Anonymi 1599).: Wulfstan.NarrMetrSwithuno Ep. 1, pp. 376-80 (980)

Ćlfwald 66-Ely 1.land dispute: Eadric 56 the Tall of Essex bequeathed Hauxton with its stock to King Edgar 11 and sent the king a chirograph of his will. After Eadric 56 had died, Bishop Ćthelwold 1 bought from the king 4.5 hides at Hauxton and 3 hides at Newton for Ely 1 for 200 mancuses. But before the bishop and abbot had the charters and before the relevationes had been provided, King Edgar 11 died. Ćlfwald 66, brother of Eadric 56, and some of his kinsmen, sought to separate the 3 hides at Newton and alienate them from Hauxton, resulting in a dispute of many years. Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 drew to the attention of many witnesses, that both properties had been given to the king as one manor. But the bishop and the abbot found it a serious difficultly that Ćlfwald 66 and his kinsmen were in possession of the charters. The abbot [Beorhtnoth 19] offered Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 3 hides at Wangford if he would obtain the charters for him. Ćthelwine 2 accepted Wangford but for many years the matter was the vexed subject of litigation and he failed to deliver the charters. At this time, Ealdorman Byrhtnoth 1 came to Ely. The abbot and brothers asked him to buy the charters from Ćlfwald 66, saying that they would give to Ćlfwald 66 the charter for Ramsey and Sproughton in Essex and 30 mancuses. Byrhtnoth 1 did this, adding 30 mancuses of his own gold, and acquired the charters for Ely 1. : Anon.LiberEliensis II.27 / LĆ 38

At their request, the bishop withdrew his claim against Ćthelstan 70 as regarded the stolen church treasures of Horningsea 1 on condition that he hand over Eye to Ely 1. Accordingly the priest went to Ely 1 with the bishop and swore upon the altar that neither he nor his successors would ever seek to regain Eye.: Anon.LiberEliensis II.32 / LĆ 42

Ćthelwold 1.buying land from Leofsige 42: Bishop Ćthelwold 1 bought two hides at Kensworth from Leofsige 42, one of his leading men, for four pounds. The land is in Bedfordshire and belongs to Houghton. Abbot Beorhtnoth 19 accordingly gave Leofsige 42 the first part of the money, that is sixty shillings, at Hatfield in the witness of Ćlfweard 44 of Stodham. Then indeed, when Leofsige 42 died, the abbot arranged that the twenty shillings which remained should be given to and shared among the clerks for the good of his soul. But Leofsige 42’s heriot went unpaid and had not been given to the bishop. In this way the bishop bought the land, but it was lost to him through pillage and violence.: Anon.LiberEliensis LE II.49a / LĆ 60

Certain monks (Anonymi 1504) bore it ill that they were being awakened during the night and they began to abandon that which had been enjoined by their bishop.: Ćlfric.EpitomSwithuni

Anonymi 1621.disobedience: Ćthelwold 1 commanded that, when any infirm person was divinely restored to health through Swithhun 5's medication, the monks should abandon every worldly activity and together go to the church and render a hymn to God. The monks (Anonymi 1621) began to think that it was an excessive hardship that their night-time rest should be taken from them and thus they disobeyed the orders of Ćthelwold 1.: Wulfstan.NarrMetrSwithuno i.13, pp. 474-8

Ćthelwold 1: After the death of King Edgar 11, when King Edward 12 and almost all his councillors were at Kingston, Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 asked Bishop Ćthelwold 1 to let him have Kelling on the understanding that in exchange Ćthelwine 2 would give him land of the same area which was closer to him and more fertile. Concerning the stock which was on the land they might do as they wished. When the bishop and the abbot had agreed to this, Ealdorman Ćthelwine 2 conveyed the land to Hringwulf 1. Then the bishop and the abbot asked Ćthelwine 2 to buy from the sons of Wulfric 69 and arrange for them to hold free from claim the two hides at Horningsea which, as we have said before, the bishop had bought from Ćthelstan 71. When he heard this, Ćthelwine 2, properly, began ever promising that he would do this, but his words had no weight and nothing came of his promises.: Anon.LiberEliensis LE II.49 / LĆ 60 (975 - ?)
