Profile
Wulfgyth 8 was listed as one of the burgesses of Colchester in 1086, when she held 1 house but no land. The spelling of her name (Vued) is unusual but neither element is unprecedented and both the Phillimore and Alecto editions agree in interpreting it as Wulfgyth (cf. von Feilitzen 1937: 281, 418).Bibliography
