  Notes	Wynnflæd, daughter of Beorhtwynn, was a landed noblewoman in the 10th century in Wessex. She is thought to be the mother of Eadmær, to whom she willed much of her land, and also of Saint Ælfgifu of Shaftesbury, the first wife of Edmund I, King of England: in a charter of 966 Ælfgifu's son King Edgar confirmed a gift to Shaftesbury Abbey and named Wynflaed as his grandmother - "Wynflæd aua mea".[1] Sources ↑ Charles Cawley.
