Notes
[edit]- ^ There is variance on the date of Grimketels death and Hecas accession between the various versions of the Anglo-Saxon chronicle. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle manuscript (MS) C suggests that Grimketel died in 1047. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle MS E, MS F and MS D he could also have died in 1045, 1046 or 1047
- ^ Anglo-Saxon Chronicle versions E and F give his date of death as 1058, the other manuscripts cite 1057.
