Profile

Heardwulf 3’s manor of Burnsall and its berewick of Thorpe lay next to each other along the river Wharfe in Craven in Yorkshire. He was still holding his estate in 1086 and DB records the details among the ‘Land of the King’s Thegns’; and although it is not clear if he was already regarded as a thegn TRE the most likely interpretation is that he was.

Heardwulf 3’s estate in Yorkshire was nearly 80 miles from the little estate of Heardwulf 4 in east Nottinghamshire, which seems too far away for there to be any connection between the holders, despite them sharing the same and apparently extremely rare personal name.
