Profile

The Agemund who held ½ carucate at Riseholme barely 2 miles north of Lincoln along Ermine Street was explicitly a priest who survived the Conquest and was listed among the king’s thegns in 1086. He was thus distinct from the prominent Lincoln lawman Agemund 7. The DB entry adds that the land in question ‘belongs to the church of St Michael’, which can be plausibly identified as the Lincoln parish church of that name (Hill 1948: 130). Agemund can thus be presumed the parish priest of St Michael’s. He farmed his small holding at Riseholme with one plough in 1086.
