Profile

Betterton lies on the slopes overlooking the Vale of the White Horse and is about 2 miles south-east of Wantage, to the farm of which estate Wulfflæd 12’s tiny holding had been added by 1086.

It is worth noting that the main part of Betterton, an estate of 10 hides, was held TRE by Wulfric, a free man, and that the shared first element in their names may point to Wulfflæd and Wulfric being related, perhaps as mother and son or as sister and brother.

Wulfflæd 12’s estate was too small and too distant (more than 60 miles) from any other held TRE by someone of that name for any connection between them to be considered likely.
