<p><b>Anglo-Saxon charters</b> are documents from the <a href="page.php?w=History_of_Anglo-Saxon_England">early medieval period in England</a> which typically made a grant of <a href="page.php?w=Real_Estate">land</a> or recorded a <a href="page.php?w=Privilege_%28legal_ethics%29">privilege</a>. The earliest surviving charters were drawn up in the 670s: the oldest surviving charters granted land to the <a href="page.php?w=Roman_Catholic_Church">Church</a>, but from the eighth century, surviving charters were increasingly used to grant land to <a href="page.php?w=lay_person">lay people</a>.</p><p>
