Profile

Skule 11 was a small landowner, probably a minor king’s thegn, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, whose single manor of 2 carucates was worth 20 shillings.

One holding in Yorkshire was assigned to the name Skule, namely a manor of 2 carucates at Anlaby, lying just inland from the north bank of the Humber estuary in the vicinity of the later borough of Kingston upon Hull. Anlaby was held in 1086 by a king’s thegn, Thorkil, and it is probable that Skule, too, was a king’s thegn. Anlaby stood only some 20 miles from Skule 2’s manor of Redbourne in north Lincolnshire, but the identity of the two holders is not likely, not so much on account of the Humber (which was easily crossed by ferry) as because a Lincoln burgess such as Skule 10 is unlikely to have held outside the shire as a king’s thegn.
