Notes

*PN Derbys., p. 459, identifies as Egginton, near Burton; Hart, ECNE, no. 113 and pp. 245-7, probably authentic, modelled on charter of King Æthelstan, refers to Eckington; Dumville 1979, p. 8, document extensively modelled on charter of Æthelstan's reign; Sawyer, Burton, pp. xxvi-vii, probably refers to Eckington, p. 72, dependence on earlier formulas is so great that charter must be spurious; Keynes 1980, p. 44 n. 77, p. 125 n. 135, 266, authenticity uncertain; Keynes 1980/1, p. 217, draftsman's imitation of earlier formulas need not condemn the text
