Profile

Eadræd 41’s tiny holding was among several TRE estates at Wallington, in the hills overlooking the Icknield Way near its junction with Ermine Street in north Hertfordshire.  DB describes Eadræd as the man of Esgar the staller (Esgar 2) but notes that he ‘could sell’ his land, which indicates that had the power of alienation over his land and therefore suggests that he was Esger’s man by commendation rather than being one of his dependent tenants.

Eadræd’s holding was far too small and too distant from others held TRE by someone of that name for any connection between them to be considered.
