Notes

*Stevenson 1914, p. 703, dubious or spurious; Grundy, Hants. 1926, pp. 182-5, bounds are those of Martyr Worthy; Thorogood 1933, pp. 355-7; Finberg, ECW, no. 11, authentic basis; Hart 1970/1, p. 34 (no. 161), authentic basis; Harrison 1973, p. 65, on dating clause; Biddle et al. 1976, p. 261; Whitelock, EHD, p. 185 n., dating clause may be taken from genuine text, p. 373 n.; Sawyer 1983, p. 296, some authentic basis; Edwards 1988, pp. 146-8, 150-3, probably substantially genuine, but may have been reworked at Winchester; Keynes 1994/2, pp. 1111-12, spurious in received from, but date and witness-list derived from charter of mid 820s, perhaps partly modelled on a charter of King Brihtric and partly on S 340; Faith 1997, p. 34, on place-name; Smyth 1995, p. 253.
