The document contains a series of ecclesiastical laws enacted by King Edmund during a synod in London. It addresses the importance of chastity among ordained individuals, mandates the payment of tithes, and outlines penalties for homicide and fornication, especially involving consecrated individuals. The king emphasizes the need for bishops to maintain church appearances and the consequences of false swearing. Additionally, it includes regulations on betrothal, detailing the necessary agreements and conduct expected from both parties, alongside the role of community and clergy in these matters.
