Notes

*Drögereit 1952, p. 62, spurious; Hart 1972, p. 127, cited; O'Donovan 1972, p. 42, dates 937/8 x 939; Hart, ECNE, no. 81, spurious, suggests identification with Church Eaton, Staffs.; Sawyer 1978, p. 126, cited; Sawyer, Burton, pp. xlvii-ix, on alliterative charters, pp. 8-9, authentic, date wrongly copied, no good reason to identify Eatun with one of the Staffs. Eatons; Whitelock, EHD, pp. 372-3, defends the group of alliterative charters; Keynes 1980, p. 82 n. 165, on alliterative charters; Keynes 1980/1, p. 216, probably a spurious confection, partly based on an alliterative charter, perhaps of Æthelstan, and in part on a charter of Edmund dated 940; Gelling 1981, p. 6, not Church Eaton; Keynes 1985, p. 159 n. 85, on alliterative charters; Hart 1992, p. 435, spurious, location unidentified, p. 439, on dating; Kelly, Abingdon, pp. 000-000, on identification
