Ingold 6 occurs in DB only indirectly in a list of those having the rights of soke and sake and toll and team in Yorkshire TRE. The list includes the note that Earl Edwin (Edwin 33) and Earl Morcar (Morcar 3) had these rights ‘over Ingold’s land only’ (super terram Ingold tantum), with both the context and the phrasing suggesting that terram here implies more than a single estate. Yet DB has no other record of Ingold in Yorkshire, nor is there any obvious pattern to the TRE holdings of the two earls to suggest they reflect those of a single predecessor. Nevertheless, it seems likely that Ingold had been a notable landholder who had died or lost his lands before the Conquest, and that this was recent enough for the collection of rights still to be associated with his name as the previous holder rather than with the new. It is also tempting to suggest that Ingold had been an associate of Earl Tosti (Tosti 2) and had joined him in exile when Morcar replaced him as earl of Northumbria, but this is to push the evidence too far.
The situation is thus similar to that with regard to Ingold 5, although this does not provide sufficient grounds to consider a possible connection between them despite the rarity of the name Ingold.
