Event S1432    A charter clear as tar. It would seem that King Ceolwulf 5 I requested land from Worcester 1. Worcester in turn asked Wulfheard 3 to give up his lease on Inkberrow so that the church could obtain the freedom on the land [from the king]. The charter, i.e. Worcester 1, appears to allege that Wulfheard 3 went back on his word and tried to petition the king for Inkberrow. In attempting to do this he sent a man [Anonymous 476] to Archbishop Wulfred 6, Eadberht 34 and Dynne 3. The first two supported his request to the king, the third did not.
