Profile

Fugel 7 occurs in DB in a list of men who held ‘quit-land’ from King Edward (Edward 15) in the borough of Southampton TRE.  As Munby (1982: S2; idem 2010: 137) suggests, this list distinguishes men made quit by King Edward from those in a second list enfranchised by King William (William 1) and probably means that their lands within the borough were quit not only of land-rent but also of geld and customary dues.  Although DB does not explicitly say so, Fugel was presumably a burgess.

The name Fugel was rare and it is therefore likely that Fugel 7 was the same as the Fugel who held land in Bredene Street (now Staple Gardens) and property in Golde Street (now Southgate Street) in Winchester in c.1057, of which the former had passed to his son by c.1110 (Winton: 9-10, 56, 66; Biddle and Keene 1976: 245).  Munby (1982: S2) did not hesitate to equate the two men. It is also possible that the same man held a tenement in High Street, although the holder’s name Fulges is more likely to represent the Continental Germanic name Folcger than a scribal error for Fugel (Winton: 36; von Feilitzen 1976: 157).
