This comparatively short reign of less than 15 years has enriched our Codex with upwards of 100 diplomata of which, however, about a third are negligible forms. Of the residue of credible examples, by far the largest proportion (18) is furnished by the church of Winchester, whilst Abingdon (12), Malmesbury (8), Christ Church, Canterbury (6), Exeter (5), and Worcester (4), are well represented. The following houses contribute the remaining forms: Shaftesbury (3), Wilton (3), Sherborne (2), Crediton (2), Bath, Chichester, St Augustine's, Canterbury, Chertsey, York, St Paul's, Thorney (1).

Whether we have here the bulk of the genuine diplomata executed during this reign is a question that could not easily be answered. Those enumerated above may be regarded as permissible forms merely on account of their regular construction and without regard to their origin or probable authenticity which would depend on considerations that have been expressed elsewhere. Fourteen of the charters of this reign purport to be in an original form, and thirteen have been reproduced in the official series of Facsimiles, whilst the remaining specimen has recently been printed. Of these, however, one is a later imitation; another is an 11th century copy, and four of the Exeter group may be regarded with a certain amount of suspicion. Twenty-eight charters of this reign are marked as suspicious in the Codex Diplomaticus, though one of these at least may be considered genuine; whilst several others which have not been “starred” by Kemble might be considered doubtful.
