Profile

Altei 2’s estate was at Old Basing, by the River Lodden where it runs down from the North Downs in north Hampshire.  He held this estate under King Edward (Edward 15), but DB notes that he ‘could go where he wished’, which indicates that he had the power of alienation over his land and that he was the king’s man by commendation rather than being one of his dependent tenants.

Altei is a nonce-word but is retained here because its derivation remains obscure and there is no evidence or reason to connect Altei 2 with any other person with a name that the DB form could represent.
