Holidays in Venice aside, I'm beginning to feel like there is no end to charters. I finish one and up pops another. They have very fleeting moments of charm, like King Edmund giving land:
cuidam fideli meo ministro uocitato nomine Uulfgario, pro eius amabili obedientia eiusque placabili pecunia
"to my faithful thegn called by the name Wulfgar, for his lovable obedience and his pleasing money".
