Reading edition
“And eác heó hafað gefreód ða men ða heó þingede æt Cwæspatrike;” And she hath also freed the men whom she interceded for with Cospatrick. Cod. Dip. No. 925. Marculf gives the Frankish formulary, as follows; it is the case of one who has been redeemed from capital punishment: “Et ego de rebus meis, unde vestra beneficia rependere debuissem, non habeo; ideo pro hoc statum ingenuitatis meae vobis visus sum obnoxiasse, ita ut ab hac die de vestro servitio penitus non discedam.” Form. Marculf. ii. 28.
