Edgar’s Andover code (II–III Eg)
This code has often been referred to as the second and third codes of King Edgar (r. 959-975), but these are now known to have been the ecclesiastical and secular parts of a single code issued at Andover. It survives, wholly or partially, in six manuscripts. Among the topics dealt with are church dues, judicial organisation and surety.
