Profile

Earnwulf 9’s tiny holding was a part of one of six estates at what is now Preston Candover on the edge of the Hampshire Downs.  His holding comprised just 1 virgate, worked by a half-team of four oxen and with a probable value of 6s 3d in 1086, which he held it as the subtenant of Cypping, a king’s thegn.  There is no indication that he was of continental origin (his tenant-in-chief had an Old English name and his tiny holding was 18½ miles from the nearest estates held in 1086 by Arnulf 3 de Hesdin and on a different scale), and there is no reason to consider him in connection with any other person.
