Uncertain Relationships

Baldwin notes that different sources give different fathers in law for Æthelred II (prior to his marriage with Emma of Normandy). It is not clear whether this implies that he was married twice before he was married to Emma, or that the sources are disagreeing about his first wife's ancestry.

Ælfgifu of York (fl. c. 970 – 1002) was the first wife of Æthelred the Unready, King of the English; as such, she was Queen of the English from their marriage in the 980s until her death in 1002. They had many children together, including Edmund Ironside. It is most probable that Ælfgifu was a daughter of Thored, Earl of southern Northumbria.
