What has Ingold to Do with Domesday? An Exercise in Identification in Late Anglo-Saxon England

Abstract

Identification of the less prominent individuals named in medieval sources is vital to our understanding of how a society was structured and operated at local as well as national levels. This study demonstrates the rigorous approach and methodologies needed to make such identifications, doing so within the context of late Anglo-Saxon landed society and taking as its main example instances of the name Ingold. It then applies these methodologies to the witness list of a supposedly spurious charter, showing how detailed prosopographical analysis can assist in determining the authenticity of such texts.
