It has come to ones attention that some fuss has been attached to a piece of paper signed by some upstart johnny not that long ago at Runnynose Island or some such.
It will of corse come as no suprise that the Medway got there first with our "Textus Roffensis" which was thoughfully knocked up some 200 years earlier by somebody over here who could actually read and write.
Our is much better in that it has proper pages and actual pictures and stuff.

Ha .......We were there first.


Textus Roffensis is a Rochester Cathedral book of the early 12th century that holds some of the most significant texts issued by England’s various early medieval kingdoms going back to the laws of King Æthelbert of Kent (c. 604).
The first part of the book contains a collection of Anglo-Saxon legislation, which influenced the barons who wrote the Magna Carta.
