View source for Aelfgifu

If (which is quite an assumption, at this remove) they were the same person, then '''Aelfgifu''' or Ealdgyth was, variously (and, one hopes, successively)
* mistress to King Olaf the Saint of [[Norway]]
* wife to King [[Edmund]]
* paramour and wife to king [[Eadwig All-Fair]]
* wife to [[Aethelred Unraed]]
* paramour to [[Canute the Great]]

After the death of her last husband, the Church is said to have excommunicated her, had her branded, had her hamstrung, and caused her exile to [[Ireland]].
