The Text of Henry I.'s Coronation Charter

Extract

The historical importance of Henry I.'s charter of liberties has been fully recognised by the leading writers of our time. Shortly quoted and confirmed by Stephen and Henry II. in their charters of liberties, it was called Magna Carta in the beginning of the thirteenth century, if not earlier; its influence on the constitutional struggle under King John has been often pointed out from the St. Albans chroniclers. Messrs. Round and Hall but lately showed its remarkable use in a French document of the same age. No apology, therefore, is needed, if herewith a first attempt is ventured to ascertain its authentic words from 28 texts. It has to be reconstructed, as none of the more than thirty originals once existing is preserved to us. Many former editors have, indeed, picked up in their notes one or other of the numberless variations between the manuscripts, but they have not tried to distinguish scribes' errors, intentional alterations, forging tendencies, and the differences resulting from the fact that several exemplars of equal authenticity went out from Westminster on or shortly after that fifth of August 1100, when Henry was crowned.

Arnold, , Mem. of St. Edmund's, ii. 126Google Scholar) speaks of the commolio inter regem et barones, quod rex cartam ab Henrico patre [scribe's fault for proavo] super maioribus libertatibua confirmatam adnichilare nitebutur.

page 22 note 5 I have neglected most modern copies, nor do I pretend to know all the copies that may exist, though not mentioned in printed catalogues of manuscripts. Sometimes their references lead us astray through a confusion with other Henries: Julius A IX. f. 160 b, e.g., is Henry III.

page 23 note 13 Then or later on existed, however, among the muniments of the archiepiscopate a copy of the Westminster class (see below, 27: Cant.). If Langton had seen this, its monastic interpolation would have been probably much wider known, while the St. Albans chroniclfrs distinctly say the grantees in the charter produred by Langton were ecclesia Anglicana et magnates; Wendover a. 1214 = Mat. Paris, ii. 583.

page 27 note 36 Freeman, (Will. Rufus, ii. 358)Google Scholar, using the latter only, asks: ‘Why does not Walter Giffard sign as Earl? Or is it his son?’ But he confounds the Conqueror's companion and his son, who died in 1102. The latter is called comes Buccingeham by Orderic (iv. 20. 183) under the years 1097 and 1102, and leaves a son a minor. Planché, (‘The Giffords’ in Journ. Brit. Archæol.

page 30 note 43 One must not feel puzzled if in a few cases manuscripts of different classes deviate from the correct text in the same way. This is only to be expected in such a host of variations.

page 30 note 44 martio, 3, 2; 4; Fr likes to alter quis into aliquis, 6, 1 (and Lond. adds the word, 4, I; 5, 1); Fr alters consilio into non nisi secundum consilium, 3, 2.

page 32 note 56 It must not be called a summary of the whole charter.

page 32 note 57 Sc 2 therefore was not the source of any other MS.; cp. omnino, 9, and the omissions meis, 6; eas, 10; suarum; proprio, 11. Address and list of witnesses, on the other hand, prove that Sc 2 does not depend on the following classes.

page 33 note 58 Cp. my Leges Angl. § 28. I have not collated K 3.

page 33 note 59 The omission (rectis) and the addition (regi) in 6 as well as culpa (8) and patris (2) prove that Alb was not the source of the other classes.

page 33 note 60 I collated them in the editions of Coxe, ii. 161; Luard, ii. 115; and Madden, i. 177. The Hist. Anglorum, a. 1213, quotes the charter (without repeating it) from ‘Hist. Regum,’ i.e. Wendover or Cron. Maiora.
