Notes

*Whitelock, Wills, p. 152, king and date incompatible but witnesses no later than 956, discusses beneficiary; Whitelock 1959, p. 74, spurious; Hart 1970/1, p. 14 n. 3, on similarly problematic texts; O'Donovan 1972, p. 33, not acceptable; Whitelock 1973, p. 244 n. 48, suspect; Hart, ECNE, no. 54 and p. 169, authentic basis, Eadred's name substituted for Edgar's; Sawyer, Burton, p. 30, spurious, modelled on a charter of 958 in the name of Edgar, king of the Mercians; Keynes 1980, p. 69 n. 134; Hart 1992, p. 450, apparently authentic charter issued in 958 by Edgar which has been tampered with; Keynes 1994, p. 192 n. 109, fabricated
