Æthelnoth Cild, Pre-Conquest English landholder, Domesday holder of Alciston
Dates: Active as holder of Alciston in 1066
Biography
Æthelnoth Cild was an English landholder recorded in Domesday-related evidence as holding the large Sussex manor of Alciston in 1066. PASE discusses the possibility that he was the same person as Æthelnoth of Canterbury, but that identification is not required for the manor record.
Notes / Sources
The identification of Æthelnoth Cild with other men named Alnod or with Æthelnoth of Canterbury should be treated as a historical hypothesis rather than a certain biographical fact.
