Writ of the Earl of Essex in Favor of the Canons of St. Martin.
(Reign of Stephen. Latin text, Bigelow, Placita, p. 160. Translation by the editor.)
Geoffrey Earl of Essex to Aelard de Werris, greeting. I command you that, setting aside every excuse and delay, and as you love my body and soul, you restore to the canons of St. Martin of London all their grain of Godchester, and all their goods which my men have taken thence; and let all their men and goods have my firm peace henceforth; because on account of my illness and for the salvation of my soul, I have promised to satisfy those canons and all the churches of God. And let it be declared by the neighborhood and by good men of that district whether five acres of land, which Walter Long holds and of which he dispossessed them and which those canons claim, be of their tenure; and if it shall be so declared, cause them to be put in possession, and let them hold the land well and in peace.
