Notes

*Blake, Liber Eliensis, p. 416, possibly an adaptation of a genuine charter of Eadred in favour of Wulfstan (and cf. foreword by Whitelock, p. xii); Hart, ECEE, no. 51, authentic, regnal year points to 954 x 955; Whitelock 1969, pp. 112-13, original beneficiary probably Wulfstan; Hart 1972, on charter-type; Dumville 1979, p. 8 n. 6; Sawyer, Burton, pp. xlvii-ix, on 'alliterative' charters, of which this is one; Whitelock, EHD, pp. 372-3, defends 'alliterative' charters; Keynes 1980, p. 82 n. 165, on 'alliterative' charters; Keynes 1985, pp. 159-60, on 'alliterative' charters; Hart 1992, pp. 431-45, on charter-type
