Profile

Soting 2’s manor was the largest of four TRE estates at Aston Sandford, an area of flat land between the Standbridge Brook and another minor tributary of the River Thame in west Buckinghamshire. DB records him as the man of Earl Tosti (Tosti 2) and also notes that he could sell his land, indicating that he was not a dependent tenant and so was presumably Tosti’s man by commendation.

This was the only instance of the name Soting recorded in DB and there is no reason to consider Soting 2 in connection with any other person or estate.
