Notes
*Grundy, Somerset, pp. 55-8, 72-4, on bounds; Forsberg 1950, p. 201; Finberg, ECW, no. 405, authentic, meeting-place may have been Andersey (now Nyland), Somerset; Brooks 1971, p. 81 n. 2, on immunity clause; Scott 1981, pp. 112, 201 n. 106; Costen 1988, pp. 46-7, on bounds; Edwards 1988, p. 44, on estate history; Costen 1992, p. 43, bounds probably 10th-century; Keynes 1992, pp. 56-7 n. 19, on beneficiary; Keynes 1994/2, p. 1115, contemporary diplomatic, meeting-place may have been in the Weald; Abrams 1996, pp. 29, 33, 38, on MS sources, p. 47 n. 25, on correct reading of Andredesdune (against Andredeseme and Andredesdime in existing editions), pp. 45, 109-12, 163-4, 216-17, 222, on estate history, Grundy's interpretation of bounds is not entirely convincing.
