Notes

*Stenton 1918, p. 438, of ill repute (= Stenton 1970, p. 52); Grundy, Gloucs., pp. 146-7; Darlington 1955, pp. 4, 90, spurious but with genuine elements; Watkin 1956, p. 211 and n. 21, dubious; Finberg, ECW, no. 185, spurious; Finberg, ECWM, no. 4A, spurious; Edwards 1988, pp. 97-100, authenticity uncertain, may represent a conflation of S 231 with a charter of Centwine.
