Summary

edit
Description
English: A charter of a Norman conqueror recording the gift of the Manor of Tingewick in Buckinghamshire to the Abbey of La Sainte Trinite. The scribe is inconsistent in spacing, size of script, and spelling, suggesting lack of familiarity with this type of document.

Authenticated by the crosses, presumably autographs, of King William Rufus, Ilbert de Lacy, and Hawise, his wife.

Ilbert’s seal is attached to the charter (the hole below Hawise’s cross).

One of the earliest knightly seals in existence (c.1090).
