When Aelfgar himself died in 1062, the King appointed Aelfgar's son Eadwine to succeed him in the Mercian dynasty. Lady Godiva's grandson Eadwine is supposed to have been only fourteen years old when he became Earl of Mercia. Eadwine had a younger brother, Morkere, who succeeded, by a rebellion of the Northumbrian nobility, to the ill-fated Tostig's Earldom of Northumbria in 1065. Young Morkere was deprived of it by the Conqueror, who gave Northumbria to Gospatrick of the royal Scottish line.
