Profile

Esbern 6’s circumstances do not link him with any of the other Esberns. His single estate of Lanhadron was a hamlet in the hills behind Mevagissey Bay, hundreds of miles from the other Esberns. The personal name was changed by the DB scribe to Sbern from the Osbernus of Exon, and it is possible that the holder of Lanhadron was indeed called Osbern or Osbeorn.
