Notes:
It may be that the witness list as it is preserved masks a conflation of the original charter and a confirmation by Wulfred as suggested by Kelly, St Augustine's, pp. ciii-iv, 65-70. The original grant having been made in Mercia in 804 may have been sent to Kent for confirmation and was only given it in 805 after Wulfred had become archbishop.
