Notes

*Stevenson 1904, p. 229 n. 4, doubtful; PN Bucks., p. 108, treats as Quinton, Gloucs.; Finberg, ECWM, no. 252, authentic basis, witnesses not compatible with A.D. date; O'Donovan 1973, p. 91, dubious, indiction and regnal year correspond with 840 but episcopal witnesses belong some years later; Hart, ECNE, no. 49, authentic basis; Hooke 1990, p. 100, on Pebworth.
