The Charter of Wulfrún to the Monastery at Hamtun (Wolverhampton) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781178433890)

"The Charter of Wulfrūn to the Monastery at Hamtun (Wolverhampton)" presents a key historical document concerning the establishment and endowment of the monastery in Wolverhampton. This charter, granted by Wulfrūn, a noblewoman of the late Anglo-Saxon period, provides valuable insights into the legal and social structures of the time. The text offers a detailed account of the land grants and privileges bestowed upon the monastery, shedding light on the economic and religious landscape of the region.

Edited and translated by W. H. Duignan, this edition makes the original charter accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in medieval history and legal documents. It is an essential resource for understanding the role of monasteries in Anglo-Saxon society and the development of English legal traditions. The charter's significance lies in its contribution to our understanding of land ownership, religious institutions, and the early foundations of Wolverhampton itself.
