956 CE

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.
