Worcs., pp. xiii-xix, 6-7, spurious, absence from 11th-century Worcester cartularies suggests S 731 not then in existence; HRH, p. 230, controversial but agreed to be spurious in present form, subscriptions are probably consistent; Finberg, ECWM, no. 109 (pp. 56, 112), authentic basis; O'Donovan 1973, p. 95, should be dated late in 963; Brooks 1974, p. 229, beyond doubt a 12th-century forgery; Cox 1975, pp. 35-6, interpolated but based on genuine information; Sawyer 1975, pp. 85-7, interpolated at best; John 1977, pp. 192-3, authentic; Hooke 1990, pp. 145-7; Dumville 1992, pp. 167-8, in present from a mid 12th-century document; BA Facs., p. 11, on history of MS 1; Barrow 1992, pp. 69-71, on background to fabrication; Lapidge 1993, pp. 184, 187-8; Crosby 1994, pp. 237-8, on background; Wormald 1995, pp. 126-8; Baker and Holt 1996, p. 138, on Hallow; Barrow 1996, pp. 85, 97; Bassett 1996, pp. 169-72, on estates; Bullough 1996, p. 13; Wormald 1996
