Historical context:

At the request of the cantor and chapter of Veszprém, the queen confirms the charter of her predecessor, queen Fenenna granting them the land of her butlers at Berény.  The previous charter was cited in this confirmation, but is not included in the edition.  It is presumably Epistolae 26295.html.
