Ælfred was the son of Æthelwulf, from whom we are descended. Five sons followed him. Of these, I am descended from King Æthelred, and you from King Ælfred, both sons of King Æthelwulf, who has been already mentioned. Ælfred sent his daughter Ælfthryth to the land of Germany to marry Baldwin, who had by her two sons, Æthelwulf and Earnwulf, and also two daughters, Ealhswith and Eormenthryth. From Ælfthryth, as a matter of fact. Count Earnwulf, who is your neighbour, is descended. |
