Essex, Wix.- Copy of a forged charter of their properties in Wix, Frating, Tolleshunt (Essex), Chattisham, Hintlesham (Surrfolk), assart up to 100 acres in Essex, the right to keep two greyhounds (leporarios) and four brachets (bractatos) for hunting hares with permission to hunt in the king`s forests in Essex etc., witnesses including, Roger, Bishop of York, Richard, Bishop of London, Reginald, Earl of Cornwall and Thomas, chancellor (i.e. Thomas Becket), manuscript in Latin, on vellum, 33 lines, stab holes at head and tail where stitched to two other sheets, small tear at head with small loss of two words on first line, folds, slightly browned, some creasing at head, Phillipps manuscript 31943 with number on dorse, 338 x 250mm., [purporting to be Northampton, c. 1155-58, originally forged c. 1196-99 but c. 1280s]. ***A copy of a forged charter by an impecunious Essex priory. "Wix was a comparatively poor and humble religious house; but in spurious documents its archives are singularly rich." - C.N.L. Brooke, Episcopal charters of Wix, Pipe Roll Society, 36, p. 45, 1962. The most likely circumstance for the production of this list would be a judicial visitation such as an eyre, at which anyone who claimed liberties such as those granted by this charter would have to produce documentary evidence of their entitlement. By the 1280s the fact that the original charter (see TNA PRO E40/14901) of which this is a copy was a forgery would probably have been forgotten, and it was copied in all innocence. There were eyres of Essex in 1272 (TNA PRO JUST 1/238) and 1285 (TNA PRO JUST 1/242-249), either of which provides a possible context for the creation of this document. .
