Notes

*Stenton 1913, p. 23, spurious; PN Berks., i. 254, ii. 469, 472, spurious; Gelling, ECTV, no. 17, spurious, regnal and incarnation years incompatible; Edwards 1988, pp. 185-7, spurious but probably adapted from a genuine charter of Cenwulf; Cubitt 1995, p. 284, substantial forgery; Kelly, Abingdon, no. 8, spurious, although forger has made use of some early documentation; cf. S 183.
