Notes


E. FIRST QUARTER 10th CENTURY 1. ÆTHELFRITH (-904 or after). According to Anscombe[688], Æthelfrith was the son of Æthelhelm, supposed son of Æthelred I King of England. However, this is unlikely from a chronological point of view. Any grandsons of King Æthelred could not have been born before [890] at the earliest, while Ealdorman Æthelfrith was active in 901, even in 884 if the subscriptions of charters of that date refer to the same person. "Æthelferth ealdorman/dux/comes" and "Æthelfrith dux" subscribed two charters ofÆthelred Ealdorman of Mercia in 884 and four charters of King Edward dated between 901 and 904[689]. "Æthelfrith dux" was also granted land at Wrington, Somerset by King Edward under a charter dated 903[690]. m ÆTHELGYTH, daughter of ÆTHELWULF & his wife ---. King Edward renewed the charter of a grant by Athulf to Æthelgyth his daughter of land at Monks Risborough, Buckinghamshire, by charter dated 903[691]. As "Æthelgyth 1" she is shown in PASE as the mother of Æthelstan Half-King but the source on which this relationship is based is not specified. Æthelfrith & his wife had five children: a) ÆTHELSTAN (-956 or after). "Æthelfritho, eius filius Ethelstanus dux" gave Wrington, given to his father by King Edward, to Glastonbury[692]. - EALDORMEN of EAST ANGLIA. b) ÆTHELWOLD (-after [946/47]). Ealdorman Æthelwold under his will dated [946/47] bequeathed land at Æscesdune, Berkshire, Cheam, Surrey and Washington, Sussex to his brother Eadric, land at Broadwater, Sussex and South Newton, Wiltshire to his brother Æthelstan, land at Carcel to his brother's son Ælfsige, and land at Cleran to the son of his brother Ælfstan[693]. c) ÆLFSTAN (-934 or after). "Ælfstan dux" subscribed charters of Kings Edward and Æthelstan dated between 901 and 934[694].
