I was just going through "The rising in East Anglia in 1381 : with an appendix containing the Suffolk poll tax lists for that year"
http://www.archive.org/stream/risingineastangl00poweuoft/risingineastangl00poweuoft_djvu.txt
and while I was looking for the surname Hunt in the poll tax list I kept finding several people with the name "Hunte".
Can anyone tell me if this was the old version of Hunt or was it a variant of some sort?
I've searched the internet but can't seem to find anything on it.

No doubt this was just the way that the clerk/scribe wrote it down.
There were no right or wrong ways to spell names, especially that long ago.
Back then many of our Bridges appeared as Briggs ;)
