Profile

Leomær 3’s two estates, at Whitton and Polmere in west Shropshire, lay only 4 miles apart whereas the nearest other TRE landholder with a similar name was Leodmær 9, whose two equally small estates were more than 50 miles away in Derbyshire. It is therefore almost certain that the same Leomær held in both Whitton and Polmere, even though his estates had passed to different successors by 1086.

In both DB entries Leomær 3 is described as a ‘free man’ and recorded as holding the estate with others (two at Whitton, one at Polmere), but there are no strong reasons to regard him as being related to any of them.
