Beschreibung

120 x 208mm, 17 lines in an English charter hand, white wax seal attached to document on a vellum tag, the seal depicting a foliate device surrounded by the grantor's name, medieval endorsements including 'Arlichseye', 'Will[elmus] Hoye' and the number 'lxxxix'; lightly soiled, creased where folded, seal worn and defective, but in very good condition.Witnessed by Roger Burnard, William Rixpaud, Roger his brother, Richard the clerk, Robert Rixpaud, Henry son of Odo, Walter son of William, Ivo of Stodfaud, Geoffrey his son, Simon of Estwich, Andrew of Qurisco, William son of Gerard, Roger son of Walter son of William Hay, and many others. Various place-names or field-names are given, including 'North', 'Scutteford', 'Stocken', 'Chiserne', 'Suth', 'Dernefordehil', 'Amethil', 'Longemorland', 'Wowefur Lang', 'Shortemorland' and 'Waterland'.The family of Burnard, which held the manor of Arlesey at the time of the present charter, was of considerable importance in Bedfordshire during the first two centuries after the Conquest. The Roger Burnard who was a witness to the present document may be identified with the man of that name who seems to have died by about 1234: the part of the Waltham Abbey cartulary (British Library MS. Harley 4809) compiled around that date mentions one Elita, widow of Roger Burnard. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers M833
