This book is a fascinating exploration of an ancient Anglo -Saxon charter that offers a rare glimpse into the social, religious, and economic life of 10th-century England. The charter was created by the noblewoman Wulfrun and granted extensive lands and privileges to the monastery she founded at Hamtun (now Wolverhampton) in 994 AD. The author provides a detailed translation of the charter, along with insightful commentary and analysis of its historical context. By examining the charter's legal formulas, boundary descriptions, and witness lists, the book sheds light on property ownership, land use, and the role of the church in Anglo-Saxon society. The volume is not only a valuable resource for scholars of early medieval England, but also an engaging read for anyone interested in the history of law, religion, and land tenure.
