Profile

Hunwine 12’s small estate was at Ringstead on the Dorset coast, where a low clay cliff contrasts with the higher chalk to the east. Thorn and Thorn (1983: DB 55,36 Notes) suggest that Hunwine’s estate was represented by the now-lost ‘West Ringstead’ in later records.

It is unlikely that Hunwine 12 was the same person as Hunwine 11 because their small estates were 58 miles apart; the tiny TRE estate of Hunwine 13 was even further away and too far removed for any connection with Hunwine 12 to be considered.

Von Feilitzen (1937: 296) suggested that Hunwine 12 was the same as Hunwine 3 (who may in turn be the same as Hunuwine 1), but this presumed that the Holacumbe of S 1474 was in Dorset; it is in fact Holcombe Rogus in Devon (Harmer 1952: 485-6; O’Donovan 1988: 59-61).
