DORSET GELD ROLLS 



(nos. 438 and 455), and Lazerton (no. 456) all held by Edwin according to Domesday. 

 Ulviet the huntsman had i hide in demesne in Albretesberge hundred, which may be 

 Wimborne St. Giles (no. 440), held by Ulviet in 1086. Ulvric the huntsman held i 

 virgate in Canendone and i \ hide in Celeberge hundred, where Ulveva had 3 virgates. 

 His manor in Canendone is probably Thorn Hill (no. 442), and the one in Celeberge is 

 probably Morden (no. 437), where his brother's wife, who may be the Ulveva (Wulfgifu) 

 of the Geld Rolls, also held land. The Ulvric who held these two manors can therefore 

 be identified with Ulvric the huntsman who held one hide of the king in an unspecified 

 locality (no. 454). Alvric the huntsman held two hides in Bere hundred, 3 hides and 

 3 virgates in Aileveswode hundred, and 2 virgates in Hasilor hundred. His manors are 

 probably Wintrebiirne (nos. 430 and 484), Coombe (no. 481), and Blackmanston (nos. 

 476 and 489). Godric the huntsman had i virgate in Gillingham hundred which must 

 be the virgate in Gillingham (no. 428) held by Godric in 1086. Godric the priest held 4 

 hides less 10 acres in Bere hundred, probably the manor of Briantspuddle (no. 472). A 

 man called Godric also held Stourton Caundle (no. 478), but it is not known whether he 

 was Godric the priest or Godric the huntsman. Brictuin the reeve (prepositus) had 3 

 hides in Yetminster hundred, i hide, 3I virgates, in Uggescombe hundred, zh hides in 

 Glochresdone hundred, 3 hides, i virgate, in Celberge hundred, and 2 hides, 3! virgates, 

 in CuUifordtree hundred. These manors can be identified as Melbury Sampford (no. 

 441), Little Waddon (no. 460), Chilcombe (no. 459), Moreton (no. 461) and Galton (no. 

 462), and Waia, Wintreburne, and Lewell (nos. 433-5). If these identifications are correct, 

 then the same Brictuin held all these manors, a fact which is not clear from the 

 Exchequer text. Edric the reeve held i hide in demesne in Hasilor hundred, where both 

 Holme (no. 467) and Tyneham (no. 473) seem to lie. Alward the reeve had i hide in 

 demesne in Winfrith hundred where a beadle had i virgate. Alward's manor seems to 

 be Wool (no. 486), one virgate of which (no. 487) was held by Almar, who may be the 

 beadle of the Geld Rolls. Alward Colin(c) had i hide in Combsditch hundred, which was 

 probably part of Thorncombe (no. 439) ; he had held the manor of Langton Herring 

 (nos. 23 and xxix) T.R.E. In Glochresdone hundred two king's almsmen {elemositiarii 

 regis) had \ hide in demesne. It seems likely that the manor of Uploders (no. 475), 

 assessed at \ hide and held by Alvric and Brictric, may have lain in this hundred. They 

 are classed as thegns in the Exchequer text, not as almsmen, but Dodo, who is also 

 classed as a thegn, held h hide (no. 444) in alms of the queen. An unnamed thegn who 

 held \ virgate in Glochresdo?ie hundred may be the same Dodo, who held i virgate at 

 Woolcombe (no. 474) in Glochresdone hundred. In Combsditch hundred John the usher 

 {hostiarius) had i hide and i\ virgate in demesne, which must be at Wintreburne (no. 

 500), held by a man called John as a king's serjeant. Hervey cubiculariiis , who held 

 Wimborne St. Giles (no. 499) in Albretesberge hundred, is called Hervey earner arius 

 in the Geld Rolls. Similarly Anschitil fitz Ameline, a francus who held Tyneham (no. 

 369) in Hasilor hundred of the queen, is called Anschitil of Carisbrook (de Carisburgo) 

 in the Geld Rolls.
