Letter 42: Boniface, servant of the servants of God, to the priest Denehard, greeting in Christ.
Boniface, servant of the servants of God, to the priest Denehard, greeting in Christ.
I commend to you, dear friend, this serf Athalere, begging you to aid him in case of need as if he were a free man and to pledge yourself to his friends for him as such and not as a serf. Since he is proposing to take a wife, I am thus eager to commend him that he may have no fears on account of his servile condition. Farewell in Christ.
