KING ALFRED'S WILL.
11

I Alfred, of the West-Saxons King, by God's grace, and before this company of Witnesses, declare how I concerning my Estates will after my day.

First, I give to Edward, my eldest Son, the Land at Stræneat in Tricon-shire, and Heortigtune, and the Book-land all that Leof heah holds, and the land at Carumtune, and at Cylfantune, and at Burnhamme, and at Wedmor. And I am a petitioner to the Families at Ceodre, that they him would chuse on the condition that we formerly expressed had; with the land of Ciwtune, and that which thereto belongeth. And I
