Mr. Kemble, in his 'Saxons in England,' vol. ii. page 203, A. D. 1849, says-'The proper [Anglo-] Saxon name for these assemblies was Witena gemót, literally the meeting of the witan [or the wise or experienced]; but we also find,-Micel gemót the great meeting; Sinoþlíc gemót the synodal meeting; Seonoþ the synod. The Latin names are Concĭlium, Conventus, Synŏdus, Synŏdāle concĭliābŭlum, and the like. Although synŏdus and seonoþ might more properly be confined to ecclesiastical conventions, the Saxons do not appear to have made any distinction; probably because ecclesiastical and secular regulations were made by the same body, and at the same time.... It is very probable that the ... system of separate houses for the clergy and laity prevailed ..., and that merely ecclesiastical affairs were decided by the king and clergy alone. It is probable that even in strictly ecclesiastical synods, the king had a presidency at least, as head of the church in his dominions, Cod. Dipl. 116; A. D. 767; Kmbl. i. 142, 143. There are some acts [of the Witena Gemót], in which the signatures are those of clergymen only, others in which the clerical signatures are followed and, as it were, confirmed by those of the laity; and in one remarkable case of this kind, the king signs at the head of each list, as if he had in fact affixed his mark successively in the two houses, as president of each.' See above, Cod. Dipl. 116. Se cyng hæfde ðǽr [MS. ðæs] on morgen witena gemót on the morrow the king [Edward] had there a meeting of the wise, Chr. 1052; Erl. 181, 9.
