- ↑ There are so many places in England of the name of Sutton, that it is hard to say which of them is here meant: but, doubtless, one of those of this name in Somersetshire or Wilts.
- ↑ Probably Ledered in Surrey.
- ↑ I take this to have been Aulton in Wilts, which was given by some of his successors to the Cathedral of Winchester, Cart. 29. E. I. n. 54. For Aulton in Hants seems to have been given to that Church by Egbert the Grandfather of Alfred. Dug. Mon. I. 9⁊9. Yet Camden takes it for granted to have been Aulton in Hants; and, following the printed Latin Translation of the Will, says, that Alfred gave it to the Keeper of Leodre. Edit. Gibs. p. 146.
- ↑ given by Edward to the Cathedral of Winchester.
- ↑ Nether Hussebourn in Hants; which was afterwards Chiseldon or Chistleton in Wilts; which was given to the Old Foundation at Winchester for the present; but, as it seems, for the benefit of his intended New Minster, at that place, which appears to have been possessed of it in 4 Edw. iii. Rom 4. E. 3. m. 4. apud Tann. Notit. p. 156.
- ↑ This younger son of Alfred was Ethelward, born about A°. 880. He was educated at Oxford, became a very learned man, and died 16 Oct. A°. 922.
- ↑ Adrington, Co. Som.
- ↑ There are many places of this name both in Hants and Wilts, as well as in many other Counties. But I take it to have been in one of those two, as most of the Estates here bequeathed lay among the West-Saxons.
- ↑ East and West-Meon, Co. Hant.
