Alfred of Spain was a Norman lord recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.
He held land mainly in Somerset but also in Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
The Domesday scribes rendered his name into Latin as Alvredi De Ispania as a kind of word play,[2] and in English his name is written variously Alfred or Alvred of or de Spain, Hispania or Ispania.
[3] Much of his land was the pre-Conquest estate of a Saxon lord named Alfwy, although the important manor of Stowey had been held by King Harold.
