Profile

Iusten 6’s estate was at Hordle, lying between Danes Stream and the coast of Christchurch Bay in south-west Hampshire. It was assessed for 5 hides TRE but only for 4 hides in 1086, the ‘missing’ hide having been taken into the New Forest. Iusten is described in DB as holding his estate of King Edward (Edward 15), but the slightly ambiguous tenuit de formula does not make it clear if Iusten was the king’s man by commendation or one of his dependent tenants.

It is unlikely that Iusten 6 was the same person as Iusten 7 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.
