Gelnhausen Charter

The Gelnhausen Charter was a charter written by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I deposing Duke Henry XII for committing treason and "gravely oppressing … the nobles … [by] occupying their possessions and diminishing their rights." It split the duchies of Westphalia and Angria away from the Duchy of Saxony.
