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 Hunwine 13 is listed fourth. 

The third name on the list is that of Hunnoth 1, whose name shares with that of Hunwine the same uncommon first element. Given that the sharing of name elements was often a feature of Old English familial naming patterns and that both men are recorded only for this one place, Toft, it is likely that they were related in some way.

The only other estates held TRE by people called Hunwine were those of Hunwine 11 in Wiltshire and Hunwine 12 in Dorset, both of which are too far removed for any connection with Hunwine 13 to be considered.
