Profile

The entry for Westwick records that ‘Godmund, the man of Earl Waltheof, held this land; the soke remained with the Abbot of Ely’; it was held by Robert from David d’Argentan in 1086. Godmund 3 is unlikely to be identical with Guthmund 5. With one exception, Guthmund 5’s name is spelt differently; Westwick is a relatively small estate located in a different shire and a fairly long way from Guthmund 5’s demesne estates; Westwick passed David d'Argentan, not Hugh de Montfort, Guthmund 5’s successor; Godmund 3 was commended to Earl Waltheof, whereas Guthmund 5 was King Edward’s thegn; and whereas Guthmund 5 tended to enjoy the soke rights of his land, Godmund 3 owed soke to the abbot of Ely.
