Profile

The two estates in which Leodmær 9 had land were at Barton Blount and Burnaston, lying about 5 miles apart in Derbyshire. Given the proximity of the two estates and the relatively uncommon name Leodmær (the nearest other person with a similar name TRE was Leomær 3, whose small estates lay more than 50 miles away) it is almost certain that the holder of both was the same person.

In both DB entries Leodmær 9 is recorded as sharing the land with others. There were 8 people holding the 4 carucates at Barton and 5 holding the 16 bovates at Burnaston (where Leodmær’s share was given as 1 bovate), but Leodmær’s is the only name to occur in both entries and there is nothing to suggest a further connection between him and the other co-holders.
