Wynflaed
Anglo-Saxon noblewoman / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wynflæd or Ƿynflæd (died c. 950 or 960) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman and a major landowner in the areas of Hampshire , Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.[2] Wynflæd is likely a widow vowess primarily connected to royal foundation at Shaftesbury Abbey,[3] with further connections to royal nunnery at Wilton Abbey. There is ongoing debate if she was the mother of Aelfgifu of Shaftesbury and thus the grandmother of Kings Eadwig and Edgar the Peaceful.[4]
