Profile

The relevant entry reads: ‘In Wickham [Skeith] 2 free men, Brunlocc and Hereweard, by commendation to Burgheard of Mendlesham [held] 5.5 acres, worth 10d. The king and the earl have the soke. Ordgar the abbot's reeve holds these men. Ælfric who was reeve before him appropriated them.’ It is conceivable but unlikely that Ordgar 24 was identical with Ordgar 19.
