Profile

Alwynn 7 was listed in DB among the burgesses of Colchester in 1086, where she was recorded as holding 2 houses and paying the king’s customary dues. It is possible that she was the same person as Alwynn 8, who also held a house in Colchester in 1086; but the name Alwynn was fairly common and it may be that the fact that they were accorded separate entries also points to them being different people. On the other hand, if the list of householders was compiled on a street-by-street basis in a similar manner to the Winton Domesday, then the Colchester entries may simply refer to properties held by the same woman but on different streets (Munby 2010: 147).
