Ismere Diploma Totally Explained

Everything about The Ismere Diploma totally explained

The Ismere Diploma (London, British Library, Cotton Augustus ii. 3) is a charter of 736, in which Ethelbald of Mercia grants ten hides of land near Ismere to Cyneberht, his "venerable companion".
The charter survives in what is thought to be a contemporary manuscript, now in the British Library. It is written in Latin. The text is written in two different pens. The first pen is responsible for the charter itself, and also the first two lines of the witnesses, and then the fourth through tenth lines of the witness list. The remaining lines are written with a thinner pen, though by the same hand that wrote as the first lines written. A different scribe added another grant from Aethelbald to Cyneberht on the back. The addition of the later witnesses is an indication that the document is an original, and not a copy made later.
