 Leofsige 34-brothers.dispute with Beorhtnoth 19: Afterwards, certain brothers, Leofsige 34 and Ælfstan 76 and Wulfgar 38, and Oslac 11, their kinsman by marriage [gener], went to Ealdorman Beorhtnoth 19 and gave him 1 hide which they had acquired, on condition that he give them a hand in obtaining certain land in East Anglia. When he did this, Wulfgar 38 and Oslac 11 made over to him their share of the hide, just as they had promised. But the others completely broke the agreement with him. From those who had broken the agreement, moreover, the abbot and Eadric 58 bought their share in the hide for 4 pounds, in the witness of the people. After these transactions, the priest Leofsige 34 mentioned previously bought from the priest Leofstan 23 1 hide and 1 field for 100 solidi. Even though he had previously broken the agreement which he had had with Ealdorman Beorhtnoth 19, once more he offered him 1 hide as a gift, and another for sale. But, just as before, it was now proved that he was telling lies. When, therefore, Ealdorman Beorhtnoth 19 realised that the priest had deceived him, he ordered him to be summoned and, on coming to Ditton, he there proceeded to set out and explain the actions and claims, agreements and broken compacts which he held against him, by means of the testimony of many lawmen. As Leofsige 34 denied and contradicted all the charges brought against him, they decided that he might clear himself with an oath. Since he could neither do this nor produce those who ought to swear with him, it was decreed that he should be evicted and Ealdorman Beorhtnoth 19 should be given possession of both hides, that is the one which he had promised to give to him and the one which he had promised to sell. This same was decreed a second time on another occasion, at Cambridge. When it was done, Ealdorman Beorhtnoth 19 granted these lands to St Æthelthryth.: Anon.LiberEliensis  II.33
