Then he came to me and begged me to intercede for him, because I had stood sponsor to him at his confirmation before he committed that crime. Then I spoke on his behalf and interceded for him with King Alfred 8. Then - may God repay his soul - he allowed him to be entitled to prove his right against Ęthelhelm 10 as regards the land, because of my advocacy and true account. Then he ordered that they should be brought agreement, and I [Anonymous 1036] was one of the men appointed to do it, and Wihtbrord 4 and Ęlfric 8, who was then keeper of the wardrobe [hręlšen], and Beorhthelm 11 and Wulfhun 3 the Black of Somerton, and Stricca 1 and Ubba 4 and more men than I can now name.

Afterwards when it came about that many peoples had received the faith of Christ, many synods were assembled throughout all the earth, and likewise throughout the English people, after they had received the faith of Christ, of holy bishops and also of other distinguished wise men; they then established, for that mercy which Christ taught, that secular lords might with their permission receive without sin compensation in money for almost every misdeed at the first offence, which compensation they then fixed; only for treachery to a lord they dared not declare any mercy, because Almighty God adjudged none for those who scorned him, nor did Christ, the Son of God, adjudge any for him who gave him over to death; and He charged [everyone] to love his lord as himself. They then in many synods fixed the compensations for many human misdeeds, and they wrote them in synod-books, here one law, there another. Then I, King Alfred 8, collected these together and ordered to be written many of them which our forefathers observed, those which I liked; and many of those which I did not like I rejected with the advice of my councillors [Anonymi 2383], and ordered them to be differently observed. For I dared not presume to set in writing at all many of my own, because it was unknown to me what would please those who should come after us. But those which I found, which seemed to me most just, either in the time of my kinsman, King Ine 1, or of Offa 7, king of the Mercians, or of Ęthelberht 3, who first among the English received baptism, I collected herein, and omitted the others. Then I, Alfred 8, king of the West Saxons, showed these to all my councillors [Anonymi 2383], and they then said that they were all pleased to observe them.: Alfred.Laws Alfred 8.vision of St Cuthbert 1: Once, while hiding from the Danes in the Glastonbury marsh, Alfred 8 sent out his household, except for his wife [Ealhswith 1] and one servant [Anonymous 10134], fishing. When a stranger appeared, Alfred 8 shared with him the last loaf of bread and some wine. When the stranger disappeared, the loaf was found whole and intact. The household returned with three boats completely filled with fish, claiming that they had never caught so much before. At night the stranger reappeared before Alfred 8 within a shining beam of light as St Cuthbert 1 and called him the chosen King of all Britain, bestowing many blessings upon him. Since then Alfred 8 considered St Cuthbert 1 his patron. Next morning Alfred 8 gathered five hundred of his best and dearest friends and told them about the vision, urging them to commit themselves to virtuous life. He also advised his son Edward 2, who was there, to be faithful to God and St Cuthbert 1 and not to be afraid of his enemies. And then they rushed upon the Danes and overwhelmed them and took over the rule of Britain.: Symeonof Durham.HistoriadeSanctoCuthberto 15-18 John 23.letter to Ęthelred: John 23 wrote to Ęthelred 13 in response to one letter from the Archbishop.

Afterwards when it came about that many peoples had received the faith of Christ, many synods were assembled throughout all the earth, and likewise throughout the English people, after they had received the faith of Christ, of holy bishops and also of other distinguished wise men; they then established, for that mercy which Christ taught, that secular lords might with their permission receive without sin compensation in money for almost every misdeed at the first offence, which compensation they then fixed; only for treachery to a lord they dared not declare any mercy, because Almighty God adjudged none for those who scorned him, nor did Christ, the Son of God, adjudge any for him who gave him over to death; and He charged [everyone] to love his lord as himself. They then in many synods fixed the compensations for many human misdeeds, and they wrote them in synod-books, here one law, there another. Then I, King Alfred 8, collected these together and ordered to be written many of them which our forefathers observed, those which I liked; and many of those which I did not like I rejected with the advice of my councillors [Anonymi 2383], and ordered them to be differently observed.

The choice seems to have been connected with the need to suppress a common practice in England which allowed bishops and priests to have women living near them.: Fulk.Ep.W5 (890 x 891) John 23.letter to Ęthelred: John 23 wrote to Ęthelred 13 in response to one letter from the Archbishop.

Afterwards when it came about that many peoples had received the faith of Christ, many synods were assembled throughout all the earth, and likewise throughout the English people, after they had received the faith of Christ, of holy bishops and also of other distinguished wise men; they then established, for that mercy which Christ taught, that secular lords might with their permission receive without sin compensation in money for almost every misdeed at the first offence, which compensation they then fixed; only for treachery to a lord they dared not declare any mercy, because Almighty God adjudged none for those who scorned him, nor did Christ, the Son of God, adjudge any for him who gave him over to death; and He charged [everyone] to love his lord as himself. They then in many synods fixed the compensations for many human misdeeds, and they wrote them in synod-books, here one law, there another. Then I, King Alfred 8, collected these together and ordered to be written many of them which our forefathers observed, those which I liked; and many of those which I did not like I rejected with the advice of my councillors [Anonymi 2383], and ordered them to be differently observed. For I dared not presume to set in writing at all many of my own, because it was unknown to me what would please those who should come after us. But those which I found, which seemed to me most just, either in the time of my kinsman, King Ine 1, or of Offa 7, king of the Mercians, or of Ęthelberht 3, who first among the English received baptism, I collected herein, and omitted the others. Then I, Alfred 8, king of the West Saxons, showed these to all my councillors [Anonymi 2383], and they then said that they were all pleased to observe them.: Alfred.Laws Crime (1) Various.dispute over Fonthill S1445: Sire, I will inform you what happened about the land at Fonthill, the 5 hides which Ęthelhelm 10 is claiming.

Then I spoke on his behalf and interceded for him with King Alfred 8.

Afterwards when it came about that many peoples had received the faith of Christ, many synods were assembled throughout all the earth, and likewise throughout the English people, after they had received the faith of Christ, of holy bishops and also of other distinguished wise men; they then established, for that mercy which Christ taught, that secular lords might with their permission receive without sin compensation in money for almost every misdeed at the first offence, which compensation they then fixed; only for treachery to a lord they dared not declare any mercy, because Almighty God adjudged none for those who scorned him, nor did Christ, the Son of God, adjudge any for him who gave him over to death; and He charged [everyone] to love his lord as himself. They then in many synods fixed the compensations for many human misdeeds, and they wrote them in synod-books, here one law, there another. Then I, King Alfred 8, collected these together and ordered to be written many of them which our forefathers observed, those which I liked; and many of those which I did not like I rejected with the advice of my councillors [Anonymi 2383], and ordered them to be differently observed. For I dared not presume to set in writing at all many of my own, because it was unknown to me what would please those who should come after us.

Afterwards when it came about that many peoples had received the faith of Christ, many synods were assembled throughout all the earth, and likewise throughout the English people, after they had received the faith of Christ, of holy bishops and also of other distinguished wise men; they then established, for that mercy which Christ taught, that secular lords might with their permission receive without sin compensation in money for almost every misdeed at the first offence, which compensation they then fixed; only for treachery to a lord they dared not declare any mercy, because Almighty God adjudged none for those who scorned him, nor did Christ, the Son of God, adjudge any for him who gave him over to death; and He charged [everyone] to love his lord as himself. They then in many synods fixed the compensations for many human misdeeds, and they wrote them in synod-books, here one law, there another.
