Æthelflæd 14 (Female) of Damerham; second wife of King Edmund 14, c.944-946
m/l x

Notes: The stepmother of King Edgar 11 and daughter of Ælfgar 9, dux of Essex. Her will is mentioned in the Liber Eliensis where she is said to have been the wife of Ealdorman Æthelstan who may have been her second husband. This would have been either Æthelstan 26, 'Half-King', or (more probably) Æthelstan 31.
