Description

King Æthelred's ecclesiastical laws, enacted after his secular ones, outline essential moral and religious guidelines for his kingdom. They stress the importance of loving God, obeying the king, and engaging in acts of charity, such as giving tithes and almsgiving. Specific regulations on fasting before the feast of Saint Michael are mandated, along with the requirement for daily prayers and masses for the king and people. The laws also prohibit the sale of individuals outside their homeland, condemn robbery, and emphasize the obligation to render dues to the church, fostering a sense of community and divine favor.
