Notes
Finberg, ECW, no. 164, authentic, identical with S S 1008, but a different beneficiary; Barlow 1970, pp. 331-2, fabricated, presumably based on S 1008, difficult to account for fabrication; Hart 1970/1, p. 33 (no. 137); Hough 1996, on element in bounds.
In nomine domini nostri Iesu Christi qui cuncta gubernat et regit quique sua multimoda potentia omnibus ut uoluerit finem imponit . et de secretis humanae naturae misteriis docet . ut cum his fugitiuis et sine dubio transitoriis possessiunculis iugiter mansura . et eternaliter regna mercanda dei suffragio adipiscenda sunt . Qua de re ego Eadwardus diuina mihi arridente gratia rex Anglorum . et eque totius Albionis aliquam ruris partem septem uidelicet cassatos illo in loco qui uulgariter Melebroc dicitur . cuidam ministrorum meorum perpetualiter trado . Godwino uidelicet Occidentalium Saxonum duci . ut hoc nostrum donum habeat quamdiu uiuat . et post se cuicumque uoluerit heredi derelinquat . cum campis . pascuis . pratis . siluis. Haec igitur tellus a cuncta sit sequestrata seruitute . nisi pontis . et arcis . ac expeditionis iuuamine. Si quis autem hoc nostrum donum infringere temptauerit . nullius aduentantis consolationem uspiam repperiat . nisi ante obitum suum emendauerit . quod hic contra nostrum decretum peregit. Istis namque terminis ambitur predicta tellus.
