1 Here a note in Astle's handwriting : "Eadnoth was Bishop of Crediton from A.D. 1014 to 1032." Dr. Stubbs finds the first signature of Eadnoth in A.D. 1012, and the last in A.D. 1019.

2 i.e., of Wells, co. Somerset.

8 Dr. Stubbs' list, probably founded on Cotton MS., Tiberius B.V., f. 216.,
differs considerably from this. Brihtwin's first signature is given in A.D. 1018.
of Hampshire, ob. A.D. 971.
5 of the East Angles, A.D. 975.

6 of the Northumbrians, A. D. 966. or of the South Saxons, A.D. 680.
7 An Alfric dux was killed in the battle of Assandun, A. D. 1016.
