Profile

Othin 9’s small manor was among half a dozen or so little estates at Hainton on the western side of the Lincolnshire Wolds; his manor also had a tiny area of sokeland at Strubby, 4¾ miles to the south of Hainton. There is no obvious connection between Othin and any of the eight other men holding parts of Hainton TRE, although Rolf’s estate also included lands at both Hainton and Strubby.

Othin 10’s name was rare and its form Oudon in DB is similar to the Houden recorded for Othin 10, the TRE holder of land whose soke belonged to Potterhanworth only 9¼ miles to the south-west of Strubby, raising the possibility that they represented the same man. Against this possibility, however, are that Othin 9’s manor was small and in 1086 was not held by either of the tenants-in-chief who appear to have had claims on Othin 10’s land. No certainty is possible here, but the balance of probability is just in favour of regarding Othin 9 and Othin 10 as separate people.
