Notes


Issue English chronicler Simeon of Durham identifies five children of Ealdred, all daughters. Three of those daughters were all named "Ælfleda" (Ælfflaed), while this may seem unlikely it is actually common for the time. If a child died young often the next child of the same sex was given the same name. The first two daughters of that name probably died very young, there appears to be no other record of them. The third daughter to be named Ælfflaed lived to adulthood and became the second wife of Siward, Earl of Northumbria. One of her sons (Ealdred's grandson) was Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria, his daughter Maud married David I of Scotland and became Queen consort of Scotland. A fourth daughter Ealdgyth (Algitha) married Ligulf, who was murdered in 1080.[5] Before his death they had two sons. A fifth daughter Etheldreda (Etheldritha) married Orm, son of Gamel, identified in the Domesday Book as owner of 61 properties in Yorkshire, they had children.[6]
