It was synonmous with "healthy" at the time.
I get the gist of 1200, but 1100 is inscrutable. If you’re having trouble through 1300 and 1400, my best advice is to read it aloud — your ear is better than your eye.
1100 is about where I lose it as well. 1200 I get about half of it with a couple readings. So I could go to about the time of Chaucer's g-g-grandfather.
