== Handseten ==
Ah, that article I rushed when a job come up. I took 'settedon hiera handa þæron' from the word 'handseten', intending "set their hands to it", which is what we might say today too. 'Setan' does have that meaning but a better phrasing may use the noun "handseten", as in these examples from B&T:
:Me saldan heora hondsetene ðisse gerædnesse ''(they put their hands to this agreement)''
:Her is seo hondseten. Ego Oswald archiepiscopus... ''(here are the signatures. I Oswald archbishop, etc.)''
:Ælfred cing Osulfe his hondsetene sealde
If the Treaty was sealed then 'inseglian' would be better.
