Profile

A free man called Thorsten (Turstinus liber homo) held land assessed at 35 geld acres in the Lea valley on the border of Essex with Middlesex. Another Thorsten, Thorsten the red (Thorsten 33), had a significantly larger holding only 10 miles away at Navestock, four or five times bigger whether measured by tax assessment, value, or ploughs. It is not out of the question that Thorsten the red of Navestock also owned a small farm at Parndon, but the disparity in size and perhaps the absence of his byname at Parndon tip the balance against identifying the two Thorstens as one and the same.
