INDEX

A few obvious abbreviations are used: bp., abp., for bishop, archbishop; dr. for
daughter, etc.

The spelling of all doubtful names, especially that of unidentified localities, is
retained in the original Anglo-Saxon.

This index is based entirely on Plummer's Index (vol ii, Two Saxon Chronicles
parallel).

After 1080 A.D. no MS. is noted save in the fragments of H, because with that excep-
tion E is the only MS. which extends beyond that date.
