Profile

Iusten 7’s estate was at Long Sutton, a part of the manor of Crondall in the North Downs of north-east Hampshire. He held it in parage with Leofsige 65, which suggests that the men were related although each had his own hall. Crondall was part of the endowment of the Old Minster at Winchester and was one of the manors assigned to the monks’ provisions, and DB notes that Iusten and Leofsige were tenants of Stigand 1 (here in his role as bishop of Winchester), from whom ‘they could not depart’.

It is unlikely that Iusten 7 was the same person as Iusten 6 despite them having the same rare name and moderate estates in Hampshire TRE, because those estates were more than 50 miles apart, were held under different lords TRE and passed to different post-Conquest successors. On balance, therefore, it is better to regard them as separate men.
