THE ABBEY OF ABINGDON 35 diminish this land in meadow or in boundary ; be he sent away and thrust into hell bottom, ever without end. And all the people who stood around there said, ' f Be it so. Amen, Amen \ 9991 The grantor of this estate was ^Ethelstan, ealdorman of East Anglia, known later, from his great power, as the Half King. 2 He attained fame in later life as a benefactor and patron of monks, but his name is chiefly associated with the monasteries of the eastern counties, and it is on
...ly from the present document that we learn of his connexion with Berkshire. 3 His grant of Uffington is another proof that the estates of ealdormen in the tenth century were not confined to the districts over which they exercised official rule. The tenth-century ealdorman of East Anglia was lord of Uffington in Berkshire, just as the Norman earl of Chester was lord of Drayton and Buscot in the same county. Legally, the ealdorman's action in booking an estate to a religious house is of some interest.
