Notes

*Stubbs 1861/1, p. 203, spurious; Thorpe, p. 92 n.; Stenton 1918, p. 445 n. 57, spurious (= Stenton 1970, p. 59 n. 3); Stenton 1933, p. 318 n. 3, applies to Bredon, Worcs., cf. S 197 (= Stenton 1970, p. 184 n. 3); Finberg, ECWM, no. 249, authentic, applies to Bredon, Worcs.; O'Donovan 1972, pp. 43-4, unpromising but may be acceptable; O'Donovan, Sherborne, p. 23, dubious; Hooke 1990, p. 99; Sims-Williams 1990, p. 103 n., probably refers to Breedon-on-the-Hill, as does S 197; Foot 1992, p. 191 n. 149, on a formula.
