Notes

*B 886 n., correctly identifies donor and date, Bishop Edmund probably for Heahmund; Darlington 1955, pp. 7, 96, probably refers to West Monkton; Grundy, Wilts. 1920, p. 23, fails to trace bounds; Finberg, ECW, no. 211, authentic basis possible; Scott 1981, pp. 112, 201 n. 106; Keynes 1988, p. 185 n. 3, on formulation; Keynes 1994/2, pp. 1123-34, esp. p. 1125, authentic, perhaps drafted by royal scribe; Abrams 1996, pp. 30, 34, 36, 39, on MS sources, pp. 249-52, on estate history
