Tunc rex Osuiu, iuxta quod Domino voverat, pro conlata sibi victoria gratias Deo referens, dedit filiam suam Aelffledam quae vixdum unius anni aetatem impleverat, perpetua ei virginitate consecrandam: donatis insuper duodecim possessiunculis terrarum, in quibus ablato studio militiae terrestris, ad exercendam militiam caelestem, supplicandumque pro pace gentis eius aeterna, devotioni sedulae monachorum locus facultasque suppeteret.
Then king Oswy rendering thanks to God for the victory bestowed upon him, according to the vow he had made to the Lord gave his daughter Elfled, which was yet scant one year old, to be consecrated to Him in perpetual virginity: granting thereto beside the 12 little boclands where, instead of the practice of earthly warfare, place and opportunity might be furnished to the devout zeal of monks for the waging of heavenly warfare and making supplication for the everlasting peace of his nation.
