picture info	Edith Of Wilton Edith of Wilton ( – 16 September 984) was an English nun, saint, and the only daughter of Edgar, King of England (r. 959–975), and Saint Wulfthryth, who later became abbess of Wilton Abbey. Edgar most likely abducted Wulfthryth from Wilton; when Edith was an infant, Wulfthryth brought her back to the convent, where they both spent the rest of their lives. Like her mother, Edith was educated at Wilton; she chose to enter the religious life from a very early age, although there is some controversy regarding if she was a nun or a secular member of the Wilton community. Goscelin completed her hagiography in ; he reports that Edith "always dressed magnificantly" because her status as a member of the royal family obligated her to fulfill certain roles to ensure the continued royal patronage of the Wilton community.

picture info	Eadgyth Edith of England, also spelt Eadgyth or Ædgyth ( ang, Ēadgȳð, german: Edgitha; 910 – 946), a member of the House of Wessex, was a German queen from 936, by her marriage to King Otto I. Life Edith was born to the reigning English king Edward the Elder by his second wife, Ælfflæd, and hence was a granddaughter of King Alfred the Great. She had an older sister, Eadgifu. At the request of the East Frankish king Henry the Fowler, who wished to stake a claim to equality and to seal the alliance between the two Saxon kingdoms, her half-brother King Æthelstan sent his sisters Edith and Edgiva to Germany. Henry's eldest son and heir to the throne Otto was instructed to choose whichever one pleased him best. Otto chose Edith, according to Hrotsvitha a woman "of pure noble countenance, graceful character and truly royal appearance", and married her in 930. In 936 Henry the Fowler died and his eldest son Otto, Edith's husband, was crowned king at Aachen Cathedral. A surviving r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
