 Because Eadric's name is a common one in pre-Conquest England, identification with any of the landholders of this name listed in Domesday Book remains a ticklish affair.Nevertheless, it would seem that he held extensively in Shropshire and also held roughly 12 hides in Herefordshire.He is probably the Eadric son of Ælfric who held two estates from Much Wenlock Priory (Shropshire).
