| Translation text: | Since God has willed to lead me to this humble place of Elnone, where I have built a monastery with my own labor on land given by royal largess [...] asked our brother Baudemond to draw up this letter. This letter was drawn up in the monastery of Elnone in the second year of our Lord the Glorious King Thierry, on the 15th Kalends of May [April 17, 674 or 675].
I Amand, sinner, have consented to this my letter and have subscribed it. [Other signatures follow: they include those of the Metropolitan of Reims, the bishops of Noyon and Cambrai, and the famous Abbot Bertin of Sithiu-later St. Bertin.] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
