The pre-Conquest archive is fairly small and has a poor reputation; indeed, the majority of the sixteen extant charters are obvious fabrications (which have their own importance in throwing light on the later medieval history of the house). But the archive does contain ancient documents of enormous interest: a charter which has claims to be the earliest surviving Anglo-Saxon diploma; a seventh-century episcopal charter; a diploma of King Aethelred 'the Unready' which adds to the evidence about the development of London around the year 1000; and an authentic writ of Edward the Confessor, again referring to London. In this volume all the extant diplomas are expertly edited, with extensive commentaries on their content and implications. A thorough introduction comprises a new synthesis of Chertsey's early history, discussion of the history of the archive and of the later medieval background to the fabrication of the purportedly early documents, and painstaking analysis of the history of the landed endowment. This volume also includes editions of four papal privileges said to have been obtained on the monastery's behalf in the Anglo-Saxon period, of which two or perhaps three are genuine or have a genuine basis. 651 0 $a Chertsey (England) $v Charters, grants, privileges. 610 20 $a Chertsey Abbey $v Charters. 610 20 $a Chertsey Abbey $x History $v Sources. 650 0 $a Monasteries $z Surrey $z Surrey $x History $y To 1500 $v Sources. 651 0 $a Chertsey (England) $x Church history. 650 0 $a Anglo-Saxons $x History $v Sources. 700 1 $a Kelly, S.
