Family talk:Ælfred of Wessex and Ealhswith of Mercia (1)


Place of marriage [10 February 2014]

I am removing the place of marriage, since I can find no reliable source giving one. (The sources that I could check which allegedly support the place here, such as the Magna Charta Sureties, do not in fact do so.) The date, as far as I can tell, originates with Asser's De Rebus Gestis Ælfredi, which does not give a place. Of course, please feel free to re-insert the place name if you have a good source which supports it.--Werebear 22:10, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Actually, now I see that Asser later on in his history states that Alfred celebrated his nuptials in Mercia (where his bride was from).--Werebear 00:02, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
