Notes

*Stevenson 1914, p. 702 and n. 61, a late and clumsy forgery; Goodman 1923, pp. 2, 3, 50-61; Harmer, Writs, p. 383; Finberg, ECW, no. 150, authentic; Hart 1970/1, p. 37 (no. 204), authentic; Biddle and Hill 1971, p. 75, on Winchester topography; Biddle et al. 1976, pp. 37-8 n., p. 46 n., with map p. 342; Keynes 1980, p. 125 n. 135, 265-6, authenticity uncertain, exemption from the common burdens is suspicious but a diploma in favour of the queen may have some unusual features; Keynes 1996, p. 34, anomalous features, but formulation is early 11th century and charter should probably be given benefit of doubt
