Biography

Birthabout 945Ælfthryth, of Devonshire, was born about 945 in County of Devonshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+.1
Marriagebefore 964Edgar, I (Don's 31st GGF), and she were married before 964 in Wessex Kingdom, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+.
Death17 November 1001She died on 17 November 1001 at age ~56 at Wherwell Abbey (was an abbey of Benedictine nuns)G in Wherwell, Hampshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. The cause of her death (at the age of 56) on Tuesday, November 17th, 1001 is not known-surviving in 1001 was difficult

Died as Queen consort of England
Burialafter 17 November 1001She was buried after 17 November 1001 at Interred or buried in the cemetery at Wherwell Abbey (which was an abbey of the Benedictine nuns)G in Wherwell, Hampshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG.
NameÆlfthryth, of Devonshire, was also known as Alfrida Elfrida Elfthryth.
NoteÆlfthryth was an English queen, the third wife of King Edgar of England; sje was the first king's wife known to have been crowned and anointed as Queen of the Kingdom of England

Mother of King Æthelred the Unready, she was a powerful political figure. She was possibly linked to the murder of her stepson King Edward the Martyr and appeared as a stereotypical bad queen and evil stepmother in many medieval histories

Ælfthryth was the daughter of Ealdorman Ordgar; her mother was a member of the royal family of Wessex. The family's power lay in the west of Wessex. Ordgar was buried in Exeter and his son Ordwulf founded, or refounded, Tavistock Abbey

Ælfthryth was first married to Æthelwald, son of Æthelstan Half-King as recorded by Byrhtferth of Ramsey in his Life of Saint Oswald of Worcester. Later accounts, such as that preserved by William of Malmesbury, add vivid detail of unknown reliability

According to William, the beauty of Ordgar's daughter Ælfthryth was reported to King Edgar. Edgar, looking for a Queen, sent Æthelwald to see Ælfthryth, ordering him "to offer her marriage [to Edgar] if her beauty were really equal to report." When she turned out to be just as beautiful as was said, Æthelwald married her himself and reported back to Edgar that she was quite unsuitable. Edgar was eventually told of this, and decided to repay Æthelwald's betrayal in like manner. He said that he would visit the poor woman, which alarmed Æthelwald. He asked Ælfthryth to make herself as unattractive as possible for the king's visit, but she did the opposite

Edgar, quite besotted with her, killed Æthelwald during a hunt. The historical record does not record the year of Æthelwald's death, let alone its manner. No children of Æthelwald and Ælfthryth are known

Edgar had two children before he married Ælfthryth, both of uncertain legitimacy. Edward was probably the son of Æthelflæd, and Eadgifu, later known as Saint Edith of Wilton, was the daughter of Wulfthryth. Sound political reasons encouraged the match between Edgar, whose power base was centred in Mercia, and Ælfthryth, whose family were powerful in Wessex. In addition to this, and her link with the family of Æthelstan Half-King, Ælfthryth also appears to have been connected to the family of Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia

Edgar married Ælfthryth in either 964 or 965. In 966 Ælfthryth gave birth to a son who was named Edmund. In King Edgar's charter (S 745) regranting privileges to New Minster, Winchester that same year, the infant Edmund is called "clito legitimus" (legitimate ætheling), and appears before Edward in the list of witnesses. Edmund died young, circa 970, but in 968 Ælfthryth had given birth to a second son who was called Æthelred

King Edgar organised a second coronation on 11 May 973 at Bath, perhaps to bolster his claim to be ruler of all of Britain. Here Ælfthryth was also crowned and anointed, granting her a status higher than any recent queen. The only model of a queen's coronation was that of Judith of Flanders, but this had taken place outside England. In the new rite, the emphasis lay on her role as protector of religion and the nunneries in the realm. She took a close interest in the well-being of several abbeys, and as overseer of Barking Abbey she deposed and later reinstated the abbess

Ælfthryth played a large role as forespeca, or advocate, in at least seven legal cases. As such, she formed a key part of the Anglo-Saxon legal system as a mediator between the individual and the crown, which was increasingly viewing its role in the courts as a symbol of its authority as protector of its subjects. Ælfthryth's actions as forespeca were largely for the benefit of female litigants, and her role as a mediator shows the possibilities for women to have legal and political power in late Anglo-Saxon England

Queen dowager
Edgar died in 975 leaving two young sons, Edward and Æthelred. Edward was almost an adult, and his successful claim for the throne was supported by many key figures including Archbishops Dunstan and Oswald and the brother of Ælfthryth's first husband, Æthelwine, Ealdorman of East Anglia. Supporting the unsuccessful claim of Æthelred were his mother, the Queen dowager, Bishop Æthelwold of Winchester, and Ælfhere, Ealdorman of Mercia

On 18 March 978, while visiting Ælfthryth at Corfe Castle, King Edward was killed by servants of the Queen, leaving the way clear for Æthelred to be installed as king. Edward was soon considered a martyr, and later medieval accounts blamed Ælfthryth for his murder. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, King Edward was murdered at Corfe Castle in 978. As the king developed into a cult figure, a body of literature grew up around his murder, at first implying and then accusing his step-mother, Queen Aelfthryth, of being responsible. The 12th century monastic chronicle the Liber Eliensis went so far as to accuse her of being a witch, claiming that she had murdered not only the king, but also Abbot Brihtnoth of Ely

Queen regent
Due to Æthelred's youth, Ælfthryth served as regent for her son until his coming of age in 984. By then her earlier allies Æthelwold and Ælfhere had died, and Æthelred rebelled against his old advisers, preferring a group of younger nobility

Later life
Ælfthryth disappears from the list of charter witnesses from around 983 to 993, when she reappears in a lower position. She remained an important figure, being responsible for the care of Æthelred's children by his first wife, Ælfgifu. Æthelred's eldest son, Æthelstan Ætheling, prayed for the soul of the grandmother "who brought me up" in his will in 1014

Although her reputation was damaged by the murder of her stepson, Ælfthryth was a religious woman, taking an especial interest in monastic reform when Queen. In about 986 she founded Wherwell Abbey in Hampshire as a Benedictine nunnery, and late in life she retired there. In about 979, Ælfthryth had founded Amesbury Abbey. The date is given by the Chronicle of Melrose appropriate

Antonia Gransden comments: "In their patronage of the monks both Cnut and Edward the Confessor were supported by their queens, Emma and Edith, who were worthy successors of Edgar's queen, Ælfthryth, as patronesses of the religious." She died at Wherwell on 17 November 999, 1000 or 1001.

Biography

Marriagebefore 964He and Ælfthryth, of Devonshire, were married before 964 in Wessex Kingdom, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+.
Death8 July 975He died on 8 July 975 at age 31 in Winchester, Hampshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. The cause of his death (at the age of 32) on Saturday, July 8th, 975AD is not known-surviving in 975 was difficult

Died as King of England
Burialafter 8 July 975He was buried after 8 July 975 at Buried in an unknown cemetery in GlastonburyG, in Mendip District, Somersetshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG.
NameEdgar, I (Don's 31st GGF), was also known as Edgar the Peaceable Edgar the Peaceful Edgar the Elder.
NoteEadgar I (Old English: Eadgar), the Saxon King of the English was born in 934 and died age 41 on 8 Jul 975 in Winchester; buried at Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset

Edgar was the younger son of King Edmund I and succeeded to the throne of Wessex at his brothers (Eadwig, King Edwy) death in 959, a death which probably prevented civil war breaking out between the two brothers. He was chosen by the Mercians and Northumbrians to be their sovereign, and was formally crowned as King of Mercia and Northumbria and Wessex (the three most powerful kingdoms in England in that time) simultaneously, and received the ceremonial submission of all the other kings in Britain. He was also the Danelaw from 957 to 975

Edgar is considered to be the first ruler of a United England; some of his predecessors were Kings of All England by virtue of being King of Wessex and, at the same time, enjoying a temporary military ascendancy over the other kingdoms. His late coronation in 973 at Bath was the first to be recorded in some detail; his queen Aelfthryth was the first consort to be crowned queen of England

One of Edgar's first actions was to recall Dunstan from exile and have him made Bishop of Worcester and Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, subsequently Bishop of London and later, Archbishop of Canterbury. Dunstan remained Edgar's closest personal advisor throughout his reign. New bishoprics were created, Benedictine monasteries were reformed and old monastic sites were re-endowed with royal grants, some of which were of land recovered from the Vikings

While Edgar may not have been a particularly "peaceable man", his reign was peaceful. The Kingdom of England was well established, and Edgar consolidated the political unity achieved by his predecessors. By the end of his reign, England was sufficiently unified in that it was unlikely to regress back to a state of division among rival kingships, as it had to an extent under the reign of Eadred. William Blackstone mentions that King Edgar standardized measure throughout the realm. According to George Molyneaux, Edgar's reign, "far more than the reigns of either Alfred or Æthelstan, was probably the most pivotal phase in the development of the institutional structures that were fundamental to royal rule in the eleventh-century kingdom". Indeed, an early eleventh century king Cnut the Great states in a letter to his subjects that "it is my will that all the nation, ecclesiastical and lay, shall steadfastly observe Edgar's laws, which all men have chosen and sworn at Oxford"

In the 970s and in the absence of Viking attacks, Edgar-a stern judge-issued laws which for the first time dealt with Northumbria (parts of which were in the Danelaw) as well as Wessex and Mercia

Edgar's coinage was uniform throughout the kingdom. A more united kingdom based on royal justice and order was emerging; the Monastic Agreement (c.970) praised Edgar as "the glorious, by the grace of Christ illustrious king of the English and of the other peoples dwelling within the bounds of the island of Britain"

After his death on 8 July 975, Edgar was buried at Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset

NoteApr-1700
Stephen Backus 2nd, of Norwich, in exchange for "150 acres of land lying on Rowland's Brook at Peagsconsuck (Canterbury), a house to be built on the land, and a yoke of oxen," sells the Backus home-lot to Yeoman Sergeant Thomas Leffingwell (later Ensign).
This is presumed to have been the date of the family removal to Canterbury

Sergeant Thomas Leffingwell, leaving perhaps his son Thomas (who had recently married) to occupy the house on the " Sentry Hill" road, moved to the Backus homestead, and in May, 1701, is appointed Ensign of the train-band (a title, by which he is later designated), and in July of the same year, he is granted liberty by the town "to keep a publique house of entertainment of strangers."

This house was probably then enlarged to suit the requirements of a tavern, and was known for many years, far and wide, as the "Leffingwell Inn."

The house is large and rambling, and many parts of it bear the marks of great age. Some of the rooms are on a much lower level than others, and these may indicate where additions were made to the original Backus homestead, for this is one of the houses which claims to date from the settlement of the town

The windows still retain their wooden shutters, the door its bar-fastening, and the rooms are heavily wainscoted, the large north parlor paneled throughout

The entrance door was formerly on the north of the house, and faced the old highway coming down over the hill. Either the course of this highway, or the desire to have the house stand due north and south, may perhaps account for its singular position at the present day. It is said that in early times, slave auctions were held at this north door.
