Bullingdon Hundred
[1] The Domesday Book of 1096 describes the many parishes of Bullingdon hundred as being dependencies of the royal manor of Headington.[3] The ultimate authority of the current monarch over the royal manor of Headington was important to maintain, because of its historic attachment to previous rulers of Britain dating back to Roman rule and even earlier.The original site of the northerly hundred court has been assumed to be modern Mount Pleasant and the ancient Graven Hill.[1][6][7] From Stephen's reign (1135–54) until at least 1281, the soke of the manor of Headington was described as the double hundred of Bullington and Northgate.That district covered an area to the east and south-east of Oxford which was similar, but not identical, to the former hundred.
