Æthelwold 1.buying land from Heanric 2: Bishop Æthelwold 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 / LÆ 57

Assembly (4)

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 Ælfsige 83 Cild held and another two near Spaldwick. And they decided that Wulfnoth 25 should give peaceful possession of Bluntisham to Bishop Æthelwold 1 or give back the money he had received. Then Ealdorman Byrhtnoth 1 and Ælfwald 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 Æthelwold 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 / LÆ 35

Ælfwald 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 Æthelwold 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. Ælfwald 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 Æthelwine 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 Ælfwald 66 and his kinsmen were in possession of the charters. The abbot [Beorhtnoth 19] offered Ealdorman Æthelwine 2 3 hides at Wangford if he would obtain the charters for him. Æthelwine 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 Ælfwald 66, saying that they would give to Ælfwald 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 / LÆ 38
