Where is it kept?

Could the article describe where it is kept? Anything interesting to say about its surviving those centuries? - DePiep (talk) 22:34, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have added this to the image caption. You can check the location of charters at [1]. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:23, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a thought

Given that this scribe went through all the 'trouble' of making a long list of witnesses, how possible is it that he listed himself?

I know it sounds a bit incredible and that the researchers have probably looked into this possibility; but I know of other instances/cases where the obvious was overlooked.

As I said, just a thought. 2600:8800:785:1300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 20:35, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you are getting at. The possibility that he is one of the witnesses is discussed in the article. Can you clarify? Dudley Miles (talk) 21:14, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
