Notes
*Stevenson 1904, p. 216 n. 1, a strange 11th-century charter; Wallenberg, KPN, pp. 222-3, on place-names; Bishop 1959, p. 94 n. 2, script entirely characteristic of the St Augustine's scriptorium of later 11th century, scribe also appears in BL Royal 6. C. i,; Whitelock 1979, p. 77, witness-list belongs to c. 840; Abels 1983; Kelly, St Augustine's, pp. xciv-v, on circumstances of production.
Notes: A charter of Ęthelwulf, perhaps dated 844, has been partly rewritten to incorporate details about the later ownership and division of the estate. This probably coincided with the confirmation by Archbishop Ęthelred (870 x 888) and others. The present MS is a much later copy of the emended charter. At some stage the incarnation year has been altered
