THE origin of the House of Lords lies in the meetings - called Witenagemots or Witens - between the Anglo-Saxon kings, religious leaders and landowners. The intermediate stage, that of the lowering, is confirmed by spellings with <ae> in Layamon (c1205): 3) Brennes wes awaei iflozen (4764) Woeila waei waeila waei [thorn]aet he is [thorn]us i-faren awaei (8031) In his herede he makede grid, ae lette awoei [thorn]at * vniriht (10281) Anan swa heo me [thorn]er witen, awoei heo wulled wenden (15060) where awoei is a reflection of the Old English phrase on weze. |
