1035 and 1044 gift of land Leofgifu

Update: 01FEB20 Another, slightly later, document we found is an example of this confusion. An academic paper ((Williams, A. (n.d.) Earls, ceorls, thegns and lords.))  quoted: 'between 1035 and 1044, the East Anglian lady Leofgifu gave Godric her reeve the land at Waldringfield, Suffolk, which she had previously loaned to him.' For some time we took this to be correct…
