Profile

The Toli who held 1 carucate at Wherstead (Suff.) on the Orwell estuary just outside Ipswich was commended to Robert fitzWimarc (Robert 14), an important landowner and lord along the Stour valley a few miles to the south. Another free man in the same vill, also with 1 carucate, was Robert’s man too (Suff. 3:70). Wherstead was only 10 miles or so from two of Toli the sheriff’s (Toli 2’s) commended men, but Toli of Wherstead was clearly not the sheriff, since a sheriff would not have been commended to a private lord, even a staller like Robert (Morris 1927: 37–8). Wherstead was almost 40 miles from an estate held by an equally insignificant Toli in Essex (Toli 6) and can hardly have been the same man.
