Notes

*Stenton 1905 (= Stenton 1970, pp. 1-2), on Gumley; Stenton 1918, p. 448 n. 67, may descend from ancient text but includes some suspicious wording, cf. S 145 (= Stenton 1970, p. 62 n. 2); Robinson 1919, p. 26, apparently authentic; Grundy, Worcs. 1927, pp. 85-6, on bounds; PN Gloucs., i. 220, on bounds; Finberg, ECWM, no. 33, authentic, discusses differences between MSS and date, 775 would fit indiction and subscription of Bishop Wærmund of Worcester (775-7); Scharer 1982, pp. 236-9, genuine, with reservations, subscription of Bishop Ealdberht of Hereford points to a date of 777; Wormald 1983, pp. 110-11, on royal style; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 163, cited.
