Profile

The DB entry for this estate at Toft records only that 5 sokemen of the abbot of Ely held it TRE and that they could not sell or grant the land away from Ely Abbey.  The corresponding entry in IE (fo 43v), however, gives the names of all 5 sokemen, among whom Alwaru is listed second.

The only other estate held TRE by someone called Alwaru was that of Alwaru 2 in Devon, which is too far removed for any connection with Alwaru 3 to be considered.
