Britain, AF; Kraentzler 1470; Pfafman.
Roots: Eahlswith (Alswitha), died about 905, daughter of Earl Aethelred of
Mercia and Eadburh.
K&Q calls her Ealhswith of the Gaini. Also called Elswitha. And says her
father was Ethelred Mucil, Ealdorman of the Gaini and her mother was Eadburga.
Also says line (Chart 8) above Ethelred and Eadburga is "conjectural," if I
read it correctly.
K: Alswitha of Gaini.
