From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Leofwine

It is not clear which Leofwine this was. Neither is it completely clear that he owned any woodland in Bourne. Domesday Book says, (Phillimore edn. vol 31 part 2. 42,2) that his successor, Odger owned a large slice of woodland and some woodland pasture in Bourne (which includes Dyke and Cawthorpe) but it clearly states only that Leofwine had (arable) land for 7 oxen.
The Leofwine who will once have been prominent in this area was the father of Leofric who, himself was a relatively old man when he died in 1057. His Wikipedia article gives Leofwine's date of death as 1028. At the earlier of the times accounted for in the Domesday Book, 1066, much of Bourne was in the hands of Leofwine's great grandson, Morcar. (RJP 12:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Self-published sources

Can anyone explain why the self-published banner is there? I wrote most of the article and it mentions nothing which I have published. RJPe (talk) 19:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
