Dugdale

says
:
"
About
this
time
also,
Ulphe,
the
son
of
Thorald,
who
ruled
in
the
west
of
Deira,'
by
reason
of
the
difference
which
was
like
to
rise
between
his
sons,
about
the
sharing
of
his
lands
and
lordships
after
his
death,
resolved
to
make
them
all
alike
;
and
thereupon,
coming
to
York,
with
that
horn
wherewith
he
was
used
to
drink,
filled
it
with
wine,
and
before
the
altar
of
God,
and
Saint
Peter,
Prince
of the
Apostles,
kneeling
devoutly,
drank
the
wine,
and
by
that
ceremony
enfeoffed
this
church
with
all
his
lands
and
revenues.

which
horn,

thereof,

the

Edward
the

time
began,
and

away
many
costly
ornaments
belonging
to
