Know that I have granted and confirmed by my charter the Convention which was made before me between the Monks of Furness and WILLIAM SON OF GILBERT DE MONTANIS DE FURNESIO, which is as follows: Montana de Furness is divided from Kendale by these boundaries, as was sworn, by my order, by the oath of 30 men; so the water descends from Wremeshals to Langedene Little and thence to Helterwater, and thence by Brayza to Winendermer and thence to Levene, and thence to the sea. But this land was divided by the Abbot of Fournesio by the divisions signed : — From Helterwatra to Tillesburc, and thence to Coningeston and thence to the head of the Turstiniwatra and along the bank of the same water to Crec and thence to Levena. William, however, chose for himself that part which adjoins these boundaries on the western side - To be held of the Abbey of Furness in full and in full, in the forest and the plain, in the waters and fisheries and in all things, paying thence to the Abbey of Furness 20 s annually, and the son of the same William fa [136 col. 2] Homage will then be paid to the Abbot of the same place. But that part which adjoins the same boundaries on the eastern side belongs to the same Abbey, except that in that part William will have hunting and hawks.
