[Partial]… some contention was made between Bishop Heathored [of Worcester] and Wulfheard, son of Cussa, concerning the inheritance of Hemele and Duda which they had nominated to pass to Worcester after their death, that is Inkberrow and Bradley, wherefore Wulfheard wished, if he could, to divert that piece of land from the aforesaid church in Worcester, through ignorance and foolishness. Then the bishop refuted him… and said that it would not be right for him to hand it over to any other after himself, except to the aforesaid civitas, that is, to Worcester. And because of the request of those who acquired that land and had given it to the aforesaid church, and because of their love, the counsellors of the familia agreed that that man should have and hold it during his lifetime. Then the archbishop with all the provincial bishops made an end and reconciled them, so that Wulfheard should possess the land as long as he lived, and that after he walked the way of his fathers the lands and the charters with them should be returned without any contradiction thither, to the church of Worcester.
