He doesn't.  Over a dozen people spoke for him.  It was very, umm, free-form.

She's working on a charter (to use the term in its proper historical sense, not
in the SCA/Ansteorran usage).

Galen's is one of my Latin specials.  It is an
as-authentic-as-possible-within-the-SCA version of a thirteenth-century English
charter.  It is in Latin, and as with all early-to-high-medieval English
charters, it properly should list witnesses to the event, who are prominent
members of the community.  Those who heard Rosalia's Pelican and Pendaran's
Laurel charters read in court at their respective ceremonies will remember the
witness list vividly.
