Profile

The four small manors each held by a Leofwaru in 1066 are too distant from one another for any of their holders to have been the same woman.

Combwich in Somerset, on a low promontory jutting into the marshes of the Parrett estuary, was divided into two manors each of 1½ hides and 6 ploughlands but with slightly different resources. Their holders, Leofwaru and Leofwine (Leofwine), had names with a common first element and may have been kin.
