writ-charter
writ-charter n. Medieval History a name for various types of legal document issued by English monarchs (esp. the Anglo-Norman kings), similar in form to the earlier Anglo-Saxon writ (see 4d) but granting land and rights in the manner of a royal charter or diploma.The term writ-charter has been used by historians of different periods to refer to different types of document. H. W. C. Davis (in the work cited in quot. 1913) defined writ-charters in Anglo-Norman contexts as a charter containing a general address, and containing a notification or injunction; more recently Richard Sharpe (in the essay cited in quot. 2004) defined them as writs addressed to a shire court and typically—like a charter—granting or confirming tenure of land or of rights, first attested from the reign of Æthelred II (978–1013, 1014–16) and not found after the 1170s.
