Summary
Godrun 5 appears only in the matronymic byname of Ælfmar son of Godrun.Profile
Godrun 5 appears only in the matronymic byname of Ælfmar son of Godrun (Æilmer Godrune filius) who held 8 acres on the abbot of Bury St Edmunds’ manor of Rougham (Suff.) in 1086. She herself was not a landowner in 1086, but that does not necessarily mean that she was dead by then.Bibliography
