page 396 note 2 Cf. ibid., col. 92, ‘ Est enim quaedam regio famosa in provincia orientalium Anglorum sita, paludibus et aquis in modum insulae circumdata, unde et a copia anguillarum quae in eisdem paludibus capiuntur, Elige nomen accepit. In qua regione locus omni veneratione dignus habetur, magnificatus nimirum reliquiis et miraculis sanctae Etheldridae reginae et perpetuae virginis ac sororum eius; sed in ipso tempore erat destitutus et regali fisco deditus ’. Cf. also Ælfric, pp. 261–62, ‘ Est igitur locus in regione quae vocatur Elig, nobilitatus nimium reliquiis et miraculis Sanctae Ældritae virgini ac sororum eius; sed erat tune destitutus et regali fisco deditus ’ ; also Edgar's charter, infra, Book II, ch. 5, ‘ decoratumque reliquiis et miraculis … Locus denique predictus, deficiente servitio Dei, nostra etate regali fisco subditus …’

Hunc ergo locum famulus Christi pro dilectione tantarum virginum magnopere venerari coepit, datoque pretio non modicae pecuniae, emit eum rege Eadgaro, constituens in eo monachorum gregem non minimum. Quibus ordinavit abbatem Brithnodum praepositum suum, et ejusdem loci situm monasterialibus aedificiis decentissime renovavit, eumque terrarum possessionibus affluentissime locupletatum et aeternae libertatis privilegio confirmatum omnipotenti Domino commendavit.’ Cf. also Ælfric, p. 262, ‘… fisco deditus, quern emebat Atheluuoldus a rege, constituens in eo monachos perplures, quibus praefecit patrem, Brinthothum nomine, discipulum suum, locumque affluentissime ditavit aedificiis et terris ’.
