Notes

*HS, pp. 638, 640, doubtful; Stevenson 1904, pp. 186-91, 199, dubious; Stenton 1918, p. 445 n. 57, spurious (= Stenton 1970, p. 59 n. 3); Robertson, Charters, p. 275, suspicious; Darlington 1955, p. 89, spurious; Watkin 1956, p. 229 and n. 43, does not inspire confidence; Finberg, ECW, no. 204, authentic basis, cf. chapter vi; Finberg, ECWM, no. 73, spurious; Brooks 1974, pp. 231-2, rejects Finberg's assertation of credibility; Keynes and Lapidge 1983, pp. 232-4 n. 23, based ultimately on an 11th-century forgery; Fleming 1985, p. 252; O'Donovan, Sherborne, p. xxx; Dumville 1992, p. 41 n. 57, spurious; Keynes 1994/2, pp. 1119-23, basic form of 'Second Decimation' charters seems acceptable; Abrams 1996, p. 254 n. 72, p. 303, doubtful
