Biography
| Birth | about 894 | Æthelstan was born about 894 in Wessex Kingdom, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+. |

| Burial | after 27 October 939 | He was buried after 27 October 939 at Interred or buried in the cemetery at Malmesbury AbbeyG in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+. Æthelstan died at Gloucester on 27 October 939 His grandfather Alfred, his father Edward, and his half-brother Ælfweard had all been buried at Winchester, but Æthelstan chose not to honour the city associated with opposition to his rule and by his own wish he was buried at Malmesbury Abbey, where he had buried his cousins who died at Brunanburh No other member of the West Saxon royal family was buried there, and according to William of Malmesbury, Æthelstan's choice reflected his devotion to the abbey and to the memory of its seventh-century abbot, Saint Aldhelm. William described Æthelstan as fair-haired "as I have seen for myself in his remains, beautifully intertwined with gold threads" His bones were lost during the Reformation, but he is commemorated by an empty fifteenth-century tomb  |
| Name | Æthelstan was also known as See note for alternate spellings of his name. | |
| Note | Æthelstan (c. 894-27 October 939) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 924 to 927 and then the King of the English from 927 until he died He was the son of King Edward the Elder and his first wife, Ecgwynn. Modern historians regard him as the first King of England and one of the greatest Anglo-Saxon kings. He never married and had no recorded children, and was succeeded by his half-brother, Edmund In 927 he conquered the last remaining Viking kingdom, York, making him the first Anglo-Saxon ruler of the whole of England In 934 he invaded Scotland and forced Constantine II to submit to him, but Æthelstan's rule was resented by the Scots and Vikings, and in 937 they invaded England. Æthelstan defeated them at the Battle of Brunanburh, a victory which gave him great prestige both in the British Isles and on the Continent After his death in 939, the Vikings seized back control of York, and it was not finally reconquered until 954 Æthelstan centralized government; he increased control over the production of charters and summoned leading figures from distant areas to his councils. These meetings were also attended by rulers from outside his territory, especially Welsh kings, who thus acknowledged his overlordship More legal texts survive from his reign than from any other 10th-century English king. These show his concern about widespread robberies, and the threat they posed to social order. His legal reforms built on those of his grandfather, Alfred the Great Æthelstan was one of the most pious West Saxon kings, and was known for collecting relics and founding churches. His household was the centre of English learning during his reign, and it laid the foundation for the Benedictine monastic reform later in the century. No other West Saxon king played as important a role in European politics as Æthelstan, and he arranged the marriages of several of his sisters to continental rulers. | |

Biography
| Birth | 912 | Ælfgifu, of Shaftesbury (Don's 32nd GGM), was born in 912 in Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. |
| Marriage | 939 | Edmund, I (Don's 32nd GGF), and she were married in 939 in Wessex Kingdom, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+. |
| Death | 18 May 944 | She died on 18 May 944 at age ~32 at Shaftesbury AbbeyG in Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. The cause of her death (at the age of 32) in the year of 944AD is not known-surviving in 944 was difficult & it occurred in the Middle-ages of England |
| Burial | after 18 May 944 | She was buried after 18 May 944 at Shaftesbury AbbeyG in Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. |
| Note | Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury was the Queen consort of England-tenure was AD939-944 Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury (also known as Saint Elgiva) was the first wife of King Edmund I of England (r. 939-946), by whom she bore two future kings, Eadwig, King Edwy of the Saxons (r. 955-959) and Edgar, King of England (r. 959-975) She gave up public life shortly after her 2nd son was born, becoming a Benedictine nun at the Shaftesbury Abbey; she died shortly afterwards in 944 at the Benedictine monastery of Shaftesbury Abbey in Shaftesbury, Dorsetshire where she is buried. She was canonized in about 1072 Like her mother Wynflaed, she had a close and special (if unknown) connection with the royal nunnery of Shaftesbury (Dorset), founded by King Alfred, where she was buried and soon revered as a saint; according to a pre-Conquest tradition from Winchester, her feast day is 18 May She has been described as a queen who was so compassionate and godly that a great many sick people praying at her tomb in Shaftesbury convent were healed Since no father or siblings are [unambiguously] known, further speculation on Ælfgifu's background largely depends on the identity of her mother, whose relatively uncommon name has invited further guesswork. H. P. R. Finberg suggests that she was the Wynflæd who drew up a will, supposedly sometime in the mid-10th century, after Ælfgifu's death. This lady held many estates scattered across Wessex (in Somerset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire) and was well connected with the nunneries at Wilton and Shaftesbury, both of which were royal foundations. On that basis, a number of relatives have been proposed for Ælfgifu, including a sister called Æthelflæd, a brother called Eadmær and a grandmother called Brihtwyn. There is, however, no consensus among scholars about Finberg's suggestion Simon Keynes and Gale R. Owen object that there is no sign of royal relatives or connections in Wynflæd's will and Finberg's assumptions about Ælfgifu's family therefore stand on shaky ground. Andrew Wareham is less troubled about this and suggests that different kinship strategies may account for it. Much of the issue of identification also seems to hang on the number of years by which Wynflæd can plausibly have outlived her daughter. In this light, it is significant that on paleographical grounds, David Dumville has rejected the conventional date of c. 950 for the will, which he considers "speculative and too early" (and that one Wynflæd was still alive in 967) Married life The sources do not record the date of Ælfgifu's marriage to Edmund Their eldest son Eadwig, who had barely reached majority on his accession in 955, may have been born around 940, which gives us only a very rough terminus ante quem for the betrothal Although as the mother of two future kings, Ælfgifu proved to be an important royal bed companion, there is no strictly contemporary evidence that she was ever consecrated as queen Likewise, her formal position at court appears to have been relatively small fry, overshadowed as it was by the queen mother Eadgifu of Kent. In the single extant document witnessed by her, a Kentish charter datable between 942 and 944, she subscribes as the king's concubine (concubina regis), with a place assigned to her between the bishops and ealdormen. By comparison, Eadgifu subscribes higher up in the witness list as mater regis, after her sons Edmund and Eadred but before the archbishops and bishops It is only towards the end of the 10th century that Æthelweard the Chronicler styles her queen (regina), but this may be a retrospective honour at a time when her cult was well established at Shaftesbury Much of Ælfgifu's claim to fame derives from her association with Shaftesbury Her patronage of the community is suggested by a charter of King Æthelred, dated 984, according to which the abbey exchanged with King Edmund the large estate at Tisbury (Wiltshire) for Butticanlea (unidentified). Ælfgifu received it from her husband and intended to bequeath it back to the nunnery, but such had not yet come to pass (her son Eadwig demanded that Butticanlea was returned to the royal family first) Ælfgifu predeceased her husband in 944. In the early 12th century, William of Malmesbury wrote that she suffered from an illness during the last few years of her life, but there may have been some confusion with details of Æthelgifu's life as recorded in a forged foundation charter of the late 11th or 12th century (see below). Her body was buried and enshrined at the nunnery Sainthood Ælfgifu was venerated as a saint soon after her burial at Shaftesbury. Æthelweard reports that many miracles had taken place at her tomb up to his day, and these were apparently attracting some local attention Lantfred of Winchester, who wrote in the 970's and so can be called the earliest known witness of her cult, tells of a young man from Collingbourne (possibly Collingbourne Kingston, Wiltshire), who in the hope of being cured of blindness traveled to Shaftesbury and kept vigil. What led him there was the reputation of "the venerable St Ælfgifu […] at whose tomb many bodies of sick person receive medication through the omnipotence of God" Despite the new prominence of Edward the Martyr as a saint interred at Shaftesbury, her cult continued to flourish in later Anglo-Saxon England, as evidenced by her inclusion in a list of saints' resting places, at least 8 pre-Conquest calendars and 3 or 4 litanies from Winchester. Ælfgifu is styled a saint (Sancte Ælfgife) in the D-text of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (mid-11th century) at the point where it specifies Eadwig's and Edgar's royal parentage. Her cult may have been fostered and used to enhance the status of the royal lineage, more narrowly that of her descendants. Lantfred attributes her healing power both to her own merits and those of her son Edgar It may have been due to her association that in 979 the supposed body of her murdered grandson Edward the Martyr was exhumed and in a spectacular ceremony, Ælfgifu's fame at Shaftesbury seems to have eclipsed that of its first abbess, King Alfred's daughter Æthelgifu, so much so perhaps that William of Malmesbury wrote contradictory reports on the abbey's early history. In the Gesta regum, he correctly identifies the first abbess as Alfred's daughter, following Asser, although he gives her the name of Ælfgifu (Elfgiva), while in his Gesta pontificum, he credits Edmund's wife Ælfgifu with the foundation. Either William encountered conflicting information, or he meant to say that Ælfgifu refounded the nunnery In any event, William would have had access to local traditions at Shaftesbury, since he probably wrote a now lost metrical Life for the community, a fragment of which he included in his Gesta pontificum: Nam nonnullis passa annis morborum molestiam [Latin text Translation] The origins of Elgiva (or Aelfgifu) are unknown but she would have been born around 920 probably in England, as she had an English name and she would almost definitely have been from a noble family. She may have had a (semi-)arranged marriage with the younger Edmund who had just become the King of England, so at her marriage she would have become [consort] Queen Addl source: O'Brien, Harriet 2005, "Queen Emma and the Vikings", Bloomsbury: London http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=3090. | |
