Ralph de Mortimer, Tenant-in-chief in Domesday Book
Dates: fl. 11th century
Biography
Norman landholder whose Wiltshire estates included one of the two holdings recorded at Alderton in 1086.
Notes / Sources
The source uses both Ralph and Roger de Mortimer in discussion; the Domesday entry and the modern transcription identify Ralph of Mortimer, while the local study discusses Roger de Mortimer. The tenure is therefore recorded here at the level securely supported by the Domesday entry.
