Notes

Grundy, Worcs. 1927, pp. 52-4, on bounds; PN Warwicks., p. 202 n. 1, on bounds; Robertson, Charters, p. 296, not completely reliable; Ker 1948, pp. 59, 67-8, untrustworthy; Drögereit 1952, p. 63 n. 23, doubtful; Stenton 1971, p. 259 n. 2, cannot be genuine in its present form, the inclusion of subscriptions of King Burgred and Queen Æthelswith has implications for Æthelred's status; Finberg, ECWM, no. 270, authentic basis, present text not a charter but a memorandum of the renewed grant, cf. no. 259; Keynes 1980, p. 32 n. 53; Hook 1990, pp. 155-8, on bounds, estate is in Cleeve Prior; Keynes 1993/2, p. 312 and n. 50, not genuine in received form but circumstantial details cannot be wholly invented.
