The earliest known bearer of a name I am researching Luffman (Leofman) a thane of Hayling Island had it confiscated by Harold Earl of Wessex in 1065. Not been able to join the dots yet though!

Back another 80 years at least to 985AD when Leofman (an Ipswich moneyer to Ethelred) minted a penny coin. Still no connection though.I say at least because the coin was minted between 978 and 985AD

From these earlier posts in 2010, and Johnson's problem with a spilt bottle of claret we must have been psychic in 2010.

I've just clicked into this one.  My advice:  buy a crown, the sparklier (is that even a word? :-\) the better and wear it on Christmas Day, declaring in the morning that you are King of All You Survey - grab a beer (or whatever) and enjoy it!
