Note[ source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecgwynn ]

Ecgwynn was the first consort of Edward the Elder, later King of the English (reigned 899-924) by whom she bore the future King Æthelstan (r. 924-939), and a daughter, who married Sihtric Cáech, Norse king of Dublin, Ireland, and Northumbria

Extremely little is known about her background and life; not even her name is given in any sources until after the Norman Conquest. The first to record it is William of Malmesbury, who presents it in Latinised guise as Egwinna and who is in fact the principal source for her existence.

Athelstan [in People]

Biography

Birthabout 894Æthelstan was born about 894 at Wessex KingdomG+ in England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+.
Death27 October 939He died on 27 October 939 at age ~45 in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG. The cause of his death (at the age of 45) on Tuesday, October 27th, 939AD was not known-surviving in 939 was difficult

Died as King of the Anglo-Saxons
Burialafter 27 October 939He 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
NameÆthelstan was also known as See note for alternate spellings of his name.
NoteÆthelstan (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.

His half-brother Ælfweard could have been recognised as king in Wessex, but he died within three weeks of their father's death

Æthelstan encountered resistance in Wessex for several months, and was not crowned until September 925.

NoteÆthelhelm of Wiltshire, who died in 897

Genealogist David H. Kelley and historian Pauline Stafford have identified him as Æthelhelm, a son of Edward's uncle, King Æthelred of Wessex

Other historians have rejected the idea, arguing that it does not appear to have been the practice for Æthelings (princes of the royal dynasty who were eligible to be king) to become ealdormen, that in a grant from King Alfred to Ealdorman Æthelhelm there is no reference to kinship between them, and that the hostile reception to King Eadwig's marriage to Ælfgifu, his third cousin once removed, shows that a marriage between Edward and his first cousin once removed would have been forbidden as incestuous.

& occurred in the Middle-ages of England
Note
Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury was Queen consort of England-Tenure 939-944

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). Shortly after her 2nd son was born, she gave up public life and became a Benedictine nun at Shaftesbury and died shortly afterwards in 944 at the Benedictine monastery of Shaftesbury, Shaftesbury Abbey 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

Daughter*Ælfgifu, of Shaftesbury+ (b. 912, d. 944)

Biography

Birthabout 898Wynflæd was born about 898 in England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+.
Deathabout 950She died about 950 at age ~52 in England (MiddleAges part of Anglo-Saxon Britain), EuropeG+. The cause of her death (at the age of 52) in the year of 950AD was not known-surviving in 950 was difficult
& occurred in the Middle-ages of England (used birth place)
NameWynflæd was also known as Wynnflæd.
NoteWynflæd (d. ca 950/960) also Wynnflæd was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman and a major landowner in the areas of Hampshire, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire

[ via a note for her proposed daughter Ælfgifu ]
She appears to have been an associate of Shaftesbury Abbey; the vital clue comes from a charter of King Edgar, in which he confirmed the grant of an estate at Uppidelen (Piddletrenthide, Dorset) made by his grandmother Wynflæd to Shaftesbury. She may well be the nun or vowess (religiosa femina) of this name in a charter dated 942, preserved in the abbey's chartulary that records that she received and retrieved from King Edmund a handful of estates in Dorset, namely Cheselbourne and Winterbourne Tomson, which somehow ended up in the possession of the community

[ Note: since no father or siblings of Ælfgifu are known, further speculation on her background has largely depended 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) ]

Wynflæd has been acknowledged as a widow vowess, probably connected to Shaftesbury Abbey with connections also to Wilton Abbey; there is some debate as to whether or not she is the mother of Aelfgifu of Shaftesbury and grandmother of Kings Eadwig and Edgar the Peaceful but many historians think this is probable

Her will lists holdings and estates including Faccombe Netherton (modern Netherton, Hampshire) and Charlton Horethorne along with estates and moveable goods such as tents, chests, cups, and clothing.
