It is not known whether Ine took an interest in Hamwic, but some of the goods he favoured, including luxuries, were imported there, and the merchants would probably have needed royal protection.
Non se sabe con exactitude se Ine tiña intereses concretos en Hamwic, pero boa parte das mercadorías das que era consumidor, incluíndo os produtos de luxo, eran importados aquí, e ditas mercadorías probabelmente necesitaría protección real polo seu valor.
