Abstract
On the 3rd of April 930 King Athelstan was holding court at Lyminster in Sussex. There, in the presence of the two archbishops, ten bishops, as many ealdormen, and twenty thegns, he issued a solemn diploma granting four hides of land to the bishop of Selsey. The text has been preserved only in a fourteenth-century copy, but the formulas are those of Athelstan's reign, and there is no reason to doubt its authenticity.
