MODERN ENGLISH<\/p>\n

In midsummer sent the emperor, by the counsel of all his people learned and lewd in his kingdom, after Ellen of Shrewsbury, that she should immediately come to him. And she so did.<\/p>\n

Then said the emperor to her: \u201cBeloved Ellen, I have sent after thee for the good of my soul; and I will plainly tell thee for why.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then said the emperor that she was a good woman, and a wise woman.\u00a0\u00a0 For twenty years she had come from beyond the mountain and given water to northern heroes. All loved her for she assisted the weary soldiers clad in armor, the large and innumerable warrior band.<\/p>\n

Then stood up the emperor before all his thanes, and said with a loud voice: \u201cI will that you all confirm my words.<\/p>\n

This is the gift: To live on these lands, and these waters, and meres, and fens, and weirs, and all the lands that thereabout lye, that are of my kingdom, freely, as Lady Ellen.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the king said that, he was very glad; and bade men send through all the nation, after all his thanes; after the archbishop, and after bishops: and after his earls; and after all those that loved the East, and he fixed the day when men should hallow Lady Ellen. And when they were hallowing her, there was the emperor Brennan, and his empress Caoilfhionn.<\/p>\n

That was the 12th of July, Anno Societatis XLIX in the Great Northeastern War in Malagentia.<\/p>\n

These are the witnesses that were there, and that subscribed it with their fingers and confirmed it with their tongues.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

To do this scroll I read an online version of the Anglo Saxon Chronicles (http:\/\/www.gutenberg.org\/cache\/epub\/657\/pg657.html) and an English translation of them (http:\/\/asc.jebbo.co.uk\/e\/e-L.html).<\/p>\n

I had to look up sections which said what I wanted, and then sometimes search for a word that the original didn’t contain. I also looked for appropriate place names in the proper period for Shrewsbury, for example, as it would have been noted in the Chronicles.<\/p>\n

When I was done, I sent the translation (What I Meant To Say) and the Anglo Saxon text to Lady Dreda who proofread it and then made changes to square up gender and some word orders, as well as polish it.<\/p>\n

Duke Kenric of Essex read it in court in Anglo Saxon English as well as in Modern English at the Great Northeastern War.<\/p>\n
