[1077] The first two witnesses to that of Henry I. are given as "episcopo Winton., Roberto filio Richer. (sic)." The bishop's initial ought to be given, and the second witness is probably identical with Robert fitz Richard. "Huberto (sic) regis camerario" has also a suspicious sound. In the second charter the witnesses are given in the Liber Custumarum as "Archiepiscopo Cantuariæ, Ricardo Episcopo Londoniarum." Here, again, the primate's initial should be given; as, indeed, it is in the (more accurate) Liber Rubeus version, where (vide supra, p. 367) all the witnesses are entered.
[1078] This explanation is confirmed by examining other municipal charters based on that of London. In them this clause always confirms (1) "terras et tenuras," (2) "vadia," (3) "debita."
[1079] In confirmation of this view, it may be pointed out that where this same clause occurs in charters to other towns, the words are "vicecomes noster" in cases, as at Winchester, where the king retains in his hand the appointment of reeve, but simply (as at Lincoln) "præpositus" or (as at Northampton) "præpositus Northamtonie," where the right to elect the reeve was also conceded.
