Notes:

*@Whitelock 1979 comments: ''A' puts it [sc. this paragraph] earlier in the annal, after the battle of Wicganbeorg, and Ęthelweard puts it in his preceding annal, which he dates seven years previously. It looks as if it were a marginal insertion in the original, inserted into the text differently by the various copies.'
