Notes

*Plummer 1899, p. 134, spurious; Napier and Stevenson, p. 137 n. 1, composite charter; Stevenson 1904, p. 246 n. 4, apparently prepared and interpolated by William of Malmesbury; Finberg, ECW, no. 244, spurious, composite text based on S 415, 434 and 435; John 1966, p. 50 n., certainly a fabrication; O'Donovan 1972, p. 38, spurious; O'Donovan 1973, p. 101, spurious; Keynes 1980, p. 44 n. 78, spurious, probably based on an authentic charter issued in 935, cf. S 434, 435; Keynes 1996, p. 19 n. 44
