Description
The 1067 charter of William I is now 950 years old and is the oldest item from the City of London Corporation's 100 km of archives.
The charter was given to the City by William the Conqueror soon after he was crowned at Westminster, but before he entered the City of London. It is key to how William won the support of London and how the City itself began to gain its special autonomy.
Written in Old English, the Charter is tiny, less than 16cm x 2cm in size with one of the earliest seal impressions of William I.
