After carefully consulting the best authorities, especially Mr. Kemble, Mr. Haddan, and Bishop Stubbs, I have in my present work adopted their views, that Ethelwulf granted a tenth part of his lands and not the tithes of the lands of his kingdom.
I have also considered Archbishop Egbert’s alleged canon for the tripartite division of tithes as an anachronism.
