Profile

The estate that Theodger 7 held with three other men TRE was at Farthingstone, on a spur between two minor tributaries of the River Nene in Northamptonshire. Theodger and two of the other men shared a part of the estate assessed at 1¾ hides, but it is not known if this land was divided evenly between them. DB notes that the soke belonged to Fawsley, which was a royal estate TRE.

Despite the extreme rarity of the name Theodger in pre-Conquest England there is no reason to associate Theodger 7 with either of the other TRE landholders of that name, whose modest estates all lay more than 50 miles away from Farthingstone.
