Years: 956 - 956
Eadwig is known for his remarkable generosity in giving away land.
His sixty odd gifts of land in 956 alone, make up around five percent of all genuine Anglo-Saxon charters.
No known ruler in Europe will match this yearly total before the twelfth century, and his cessions are plausibly attributed to political insecurity.
