  • Hook Norton, Regia Villa
    Hook Norton, regia villa By JOHN BLAIR SUMMARY The ridge on which stands the iron-age hillfort Tadmarton Camp is tentatively identified as the site oj an Anglo-Saxon royal vill and the sctne oj a bailie in 913. Nearby was the original glebtland oj Hook Norlon parish church, suggtsling that the early ecclesiastical cenlre may also haUl bun on tht ridge, not in the village 2'/2 milts away. or the year 913, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records one or the abortive Viking Fcounter-attacks which punctuated the fe-conquest of the Danclaw: 1 In this year the army from NOrlhampton and Leicester rode out after Easter and broke the peace, and killed many men at Hook Norton and round about there. And then very soon after that, as the one force came home, they mel another raiding band which rode out against Luton. And then the people of the district became aware of it and fought against them and reduced them to full night ... The 12th-century Latin writer John of Worcester, who used texts of the Anglo­ Saxon Chronicle which are no longer extant, is slightly more hclpful:2 After Easter the pagan army from Northampton and Leicester plundered Oxrordshire, and killed many men in the royal viII Hook Norton and in many other places (in Oxenofordensi provincia praedam egerunl, et in regia villa Hokerntlunt tl in multis aliis villis quam plures occiderunl) ... It was a standard practice of pre-Conquest writers (and one which respected administrative and political realities) to locale military campaigns by reference to royal villat.'l The villa mentioned in the 913 annal has, however, disappeared from recorded memory.

INTRODUCTION An unguarded curiosity about whether the men of Oxfordshire went to war with Henry V in 1415 and the chance finding of the medieval soldier database (www.medievalsoldier.org), ​ ​ led to this investigation of the known community in the county at the time and the gradual listing of possible participants1. In so doing, some local evidence has been found which may throw light on issues of wider interest to military and social historians. This includes some possible indicators for the motivations behind individuals’ involvement in military service, some comments on the family traditions of such participation and the degree to which local networks operated in the formation of retinues. This study is a work still in progress designed to test the usefulness of the database as a tool for prosopographical investigation of this area of English military history. Not all areas discussed are fully developed yet but it is hoped they are of sufficient interest to be worth sharing at this stage.
