Notes:

The moneyer Aelfric (IELFRIC) is not previously listed at Warwick for William II. An Aelric (IELRIC) is listed for William I's PAXS type (BMC viii; North 848-50) dating c.1083-6, and it is possible that these are the same moneyers. Ref: Allen 2012. 82. (M. Allen 2012, 'The mints and moneyers of England and Wales 1066-1158', British Numismatic Journnal 82, 54-120.)
