Profile

The three Domesday estates ascribed to the name Gunni are much too far apart for their holders to be other than three distinct individuals. In north Buckinghamshire, the smallest of three holdings in the 10-hide vill of Caldecote belonged to a Gunni who had full power of alienation over his land but was commended to Ælfric son of Goding, an important thegn who was the lord of many men in the area.
