Profile

Wulfflæd 13’s estate at Nunwell overlooked the marshes of the river Yar in the east of the Isle of Wight, more than 60 miles (and across the Solent) from any other TRE estate held by someone of the same name. Furthermore, no other person called Wulfflæd was recorded as holding her land from Earl Tosti (the note in DB that Wulfflæd’s land ‘was not an alod’ implies that she was a dependent tenant). There is no reason, therefore, to regard Wulfflæd 13 as being the same as any other known person of that name.
