Notes

*Stevenson 1914, p. 692 n. 16, cited; Stenton 1918, p. 451, doubtful (= Stenton 1970, p. 65); Brooks 1971, p. 73 n. 5, of very doubtful authenticity; Campbell, Rochester, p. xxiii, highly suspicious, perhaps post-Conquest forgery; Edwards 1988, pp. 282-5, fabrication partly based on 9th-century records; O'Donovan, Sherborne, p. 8, dubious; Keynes 1993/1, pp. 121-2 and n. 50, text 'improved' in transmission, but little doubt that it depends ultimately on a genuine document of the late 820s.
