Profile

The three Domesday estates ascribed to the name Gunni are much too far apart for their holders to be other than three distinct individuals. At Walton in Gordano, close to the Bristol Channel in north Somerset and some 15 miles from Bristol, Gunni held the whole vill of 3½ hides worth £2 10s. He was identified as Gunni the Dane (dacus) in Exon (Exon 447b2), his byname being omitted by the scribe of GDB.
