T H E MONEYERS.

JT has been deemed desirable to precede the actual notices of

the several mints by a comprehensive and classified index

of the moneyers, whose names appear on the coins which

hitherto have been noted for the purposes of this work.

T h e names of the moneyers under William I. and II. are set out

in one list in the left hand or first column, the full or correct form of

each name having been selected for this purpose where possible, then

follow in proper sequence the names of the town or towns at which

moneyers bearing the name worked, and following the name of each

town are references to the kings from ^ftthelreed II. to Stephen

inclusive, under whom moneyers of the same name coined at the same

town.

In the case of the coins of William I. the types issued are

indicated by Roman numerals, and in that of William II. they are

indicated by Arabic figures.

T h e following are the abbreviations employed : —

JE = ./Ethelrsed II. E = Edward the Confessor.

C = Cnut. Hd 2 — Harold II.

Hd 1 = Harold I. Hen 1 = Henry I.

Hct = Harthacnut. S = Stephen.

II = „ II „ „ 234

V = „ V „ „ 238

V I = „ V I „ „ 243

V I I = „ V I I „ „ 239

V I I I = ,, V I I I ,, 241 and 242

1 = „ 1 of William II., Hawkins 244

2 = „ 2 „ „ 246

3 — >> 3 .. .. 24 7 4 = » 4 » . . . 2 5 ° 5 = » 5 » - » 248

T h e " mule " coins are specifically described, and the rare variety

of type 4 of William II. is indicated by the reference (Hawkins, 249)

placed after the 4 denoting the type.

Although it is not very probable that a moneyer would continue

to issue coins for so long a period, in considering this point it must be

remembered that from the close of the reign of ./Ethelraid II. to the

commencement of that of William I., there elapsed approximately only

half a century, so that if a moneyer worked at the town of his birth for

as long a time as George III . or Queen Victoria reigned over these

realms, it would have been possible for him to have issued coins in all

reigns from ^Ethelraed II. to William I. inclusive.

It is highly probable, however, that the same names were

perpetuated in the same families and, as the moneyer's craft was in all

likelihood a somewhat closely guarded art, the frequent recurrence of

the same names in given localities is easy of explanation.

In regard to the names of the moneyers it will be observed that

they are, with very few exceptions, of Saxon or Danish origin. In

order to assist students in the correct decipherment of the names as

they appear on the coins, the variants of the names of the moneyers as

they have been noted to occur at the several times during the reigns

of William I. and II. only, have been chronicled.

The Moneyers.

T h e histories of the mints have been arranged under counties, an

arrangement preferable on historical ancl geographical grounds, as well

as one likely to be of assistance to the county collector.

1 6 4 A Numismatic History of William I. and II.

C H A P T E R V I I .

T H E D O M E S D A Y BOROUGI-IS.

T h e numismatic importance of a place having the status of a

borough has not, it is thought, been hitherto sufficiently recognised.

In Chapter V. reference was made to the law of ^ithelstan

enacted at the Synod of Greatley, and to the fact that in addition to>

the provision made for there being moneyers in certain important

places specified in that law, it was thereby also ordained that there

should be one moneyer "elsewhere in the other Burghs."

Mr. Ballard in The Domesday Borottghspp. 9-10, gives a list of'

all those places which in Domesday Book are either expressly styled!

boroughs or are stated to contain burgesses.

He classifies them into :

A. Composite boroughs, or those of heterogeneous tenure ;

B. Simple boroughs, or those of homogeneous tenure,, or

ownership ;

ancl he sub-classifies the Composite boroughs into :

1. County boroughs,

2. Ouasi-county boroughs.

For the purposes of the present work the main classification into^

(A) Composite boroughs, and (B) Simple boroughs, is sufficient, and in

the compilation of the following lists Mr. Ballard's attribution of a

borough to one class or the other has been adopted, except where

specified to the contrary and indicated by italics.

In each list the existence of a mint in Saxon ancl Norman times,

or, to write definitely, (i) at any time prior to the reign of William I.

and (ii) at any time during the reign of either William I. or William II.

is noted.

The Domesday Boroiighs. 167

Salisbury is excluded by Mr. Ballard from his list of Domesday

Boroughs, although he mentions that it is included as such in Professor

Tait's map in the Historical Atlas of Modern Europe. It possessed a

mint in both Saxon and Norman times ancl contains the style of

borough in its name.

N o coins have been attributed to Arundel (D.B. Harundel),

Axbridge {D.B. Aissebrige), Calne, Droitwich {D.B. Wich), Grantham,

and Wimbourne {D.B. Winborne and Winburne).

A s regards Arundel it would seem that the place owed its chief

importance to the existence there of Earl Roger's Castle, but as Earl

Roger also owned the city of Chichester, it was probably deemed

expedient to carry on any coinage that was required at that ancient

mint. In reference to the other towns it is possible that coins of the

places mentioned below in the first column, may lie unappropriated

amongst those attributed to the more important mints specified in the

second column :

Bruton, Buckingham, Dunwich, Langport, Lydford, Milbourne,

Reading and Torksey were mints in Saxon times and retained the

status of boroughs in Domesday, but no Norman coins have hitherto

been attributed to them.

On the other hand Bridport, Pevensey, Rhuddlan, Twynham

(Christchurch) ancl Yarmouth appear only as mints in Norman times.

They are all styled boroughs in Domesday, ancl coins of all are now

known, the attributions to Twynham and Yarmouth having been

made by the present writer.

W e now come to the simple boroughs, or those owned entirely by

one person, whether the king or a subject. Some of these appear to

have developed on otherwise purely agricultural estates, whilst others

M r . Bal lard 's list on the g r o u n d that none of them is referred to in

D o m e s d a y B o o k as b e i n g a borough or as containing burgesses.

D u r h a m and St. D a v i d ' s are both situate outside of the area

c o v e r e d by D o m e s d a y .

N e w p o r t in B u c k i n g h a m s h i r e would appear to h a v e been

o v e r l o o k e d , as the term " b u r g e n s e s " occurs in the entry relative

thereto (D.B. i, 148 b. 2).

M a r l b o r o u g h contains the style in its designation and is classed as

a borough b y Professor T a i t . O u r numismatic evidence shows that

1 D.B. Peneverdant; near Preston, Lancashire. 2 D.B. Tateshalle.


William I., early in his reign, transferred the Bedwin mint to this

place.

Fordwich is classed by Mr. Ballard as a composite borough, but

at the time of Domesday Book it belonged in its entirety to St.

Augustine's, Canterbury.

In addition to the places specified in the above two lists of

composite and simple boroughs respectively existing at the time of the

compilation of Domesday Book, there were many other places which

undoubtedly had been boroughs in Saxon times and which, as such,

possessed mints and exercised the right of coinage.

In many instances the exercise of such rights had been abandoned

prior to the Conquest and the places had lost or abandoned their

status as boroughs.

There are omissions and inaccuracies in the lists of pre-Conquest

mints, given by Mr. Ballard on the authority of Professor York

Powell's article in the English Historical Review, xi, 759, but it is

outside the scope of the present treatise to deal with these.

From the evidence above set out, it would seem that the following-' o

conclusions may be safely deduced : —

1. That every borough existing in the reign of /Ethelstan

possessed a mint.

2. That a place on becoming a composite borough prior to

the reign of William I. became possessed of a mint.

3. That simple boroughs belonging to the king had a mint or

not according to his pleasure.

4. That a composite borough possessing a pre-Conquest mint

was with few exceptions allowed to continue the

operation of the same.

5. That a simple borough created or granted to a subject

after the Conquest, had no mint unless the same was

specifically granted.

T h e separate histories of the mints will follow in the order given

below, but it is quite possible that some modification and additions may

be made when the histories are completed for publication.
