Notes for Hacon

1086 Dudding describes Hacon's holdings at the time of the Domesday survey as, [1]

Hacon had in Hainton at the time of the Survey, under Roger de Poictou, one plough team, and eight villeins and two bordars with one plough team and a half, and sixty acres of meadow. He had also in [Wyham ?] under Ralph Pagenel, two oxen in a plough and four villeins and one bordar with one plough team, and ten acres of meadow, and eighty-four acres of wood.

Dudding states that, [2]

Later on, Hugh de Scotney gave him [Hacon] six bovates in Hainton, four in Barkwith and four in Strubby [by Langton] for the service of one knight; and Manasser Arsic six bovates in South Willingham for a payment of 20s ad firmam finalem.

If we may judge from his name, Hacon was of Scandinavian origin. He died before 1115-18 leaving at least two sons—William and Ralph.
