I have deleted that sentence "Scholars currently believe that only kings had the power to grant lands at this time in Anglo-Saxon England; if their assumption is correct, then this would prove Æthelmod was a king" because it is false. Grants could be and were made by kings, nobles, bishops, widows, whatever. In the Sawyer catalogue numbers S 1 to S 1163 refer to grants by kings and numbers S 1164 to S 1428 to grants by other people.
