I think it one of the better reforms of ... Tahdg Liath, perhaps?
I know he wrote a paper on the subject  ... that Ansteorra has
set wordings on all charters.  That's how they did it in period.
If it wasn't in the proper form, *the whole grant might be ruled
invalid*.  They didn't merely add all the lists of
"with scot and soc, tunnage and poundage, sackage and wreckage"
stuph just because they liked it; if one was omitted,
you had a long court case on whether or not you had that right.

Daniel "the other reform being referring to the documents as
'charters' rather than 'scrolls', but that hasn't really
caught on" de Lincoln
