Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Æthelstan A. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20140808053032/http://www.kemble.asnc.cam.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/XXVII_%20Charters%20of%20%C3%86thelstan%20A.pdf to http://www.kemble.asnc.cam.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/XXVII_%20Charters%20of%20%C3%86thelstan%20A.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

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

Latest comment: 6 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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
