Excerpt from A Charter of Donatus, Prior of LouthThe date of this Charter of Donat, Prior of Louth, cannot be fixed with the same accuracy as that of the companion charter of Bishop Cristin. But I believe it may be determined within narrow limits. In the first place, the character of the script, the form of the letters on the seal, and, above all, the mention of Roger Pipard in the body of the document point to the end of the twelfth century or the beginning of the thirteenth. These, however, are vague indications, for more definite clues we must turn to the list of witnesses.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
