Abstract

Three coins of the Jewel Cross type of Harold I (1035–40) bear the name of an otherwise unrecorded mint-place: Landc. This mint-name has not hitherto been convincingly identified. Here, it is argued that Landc was Lancaut, Gloucestershire, on the River Wye. If this attribution is correct, it would represent not only a new addition to the complement of late Anglo-Saxon mint-places, but one in an unusual location hard up against Welsh territory.
