Profile

A Beorhtgifu who survived to 1086 in possession of her land appears in south Lincolnshire well beyond the orbit of Beorhtgifu 10 in the north of the county and some 30 miles from Beorhtgifu 8 in Huntingdonshire. The fact of her survival argues against identification with either.

The south Lincolnshire Beorhtgifu was listed among the king’s thegns, holding a manor of 1 carucate at Corby Glen, on the river Glen in south Kesteven, which she had also held TRE. She farmed in 1086 with 1 plough and had 30 acres of wood-pasture and 1 acre of meadow. There were 3 bordars.
