Chaplais 1966, pp. 21-2 (no. 21), script unlikely to be earlier than third quarter of s. xi, the document as a whole is not authentic and it is impossible to say how much genuine material it may contain (= 1981, XV pp. 21-2); Keynes 1980, p. 27 n. 43, on formula; Keynes 1994a, pp. 52 n. 51, 68 n. 148, probably spurious, but witness-list from genuine text; Finberg, ECDC, no. 53 (pp. 14, 19); Hooke 1994, pp. 55-62, 186-7, on bounds; Lawson 1993, pp. 66 n. 29, 238, suspect, probably a local production; Olson 1989, p. 77 n. 153; Stenton 1955, p. 82, cited; Dumville 1993, p. 133, cited; HRH, p. 232, subscriptions are consistent, but charter is probably not authentic; Davidson 1883, pp. 285-7, authentic; Stenton 1971, p. 409, cited; Whitelock, EHD, p. 597; Stevenson 1914, p. 698 n. 24, slightly later hand; Larson 1910, p. 725 n. 28; Hill 1986, suggests issued at royal assembly
