Profile

Helewis 2 had a minute holding of 26 acres with a value of 16d at Witton, 5 miles west of Norwich, that she held from Bishop William of Thetford (William 41) in 1086. DB states that she was the niece of Bishop Herfast (Herfast 1) and had previously held her land from him, which implies that she had acquired it between his consecration in 1070 and his death in c.1084.
