Notes

*Darlington 1955, p. 90, spurious in present form; Watkin 1956, p. 212 and n. 57; Finberg, ECW, no. 207, the text reads like an epitome of a (lost) original; O'Donovan 1973, p. 108, witness-list and dating clause acceptable, charter may have a genuine base; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 226 n. 47, on estate; Keynes 1994/2, pp. 1121-2, fabrication perhaps based on 'Second Decimation' charter
