About This Item
Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2017. Book. Fine. Hardback. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fine new copy. 200 pp. Ædgyth or Edith (910-46) was the daughter of Edward the Elder and grand-daughter of Alfred the Great. She married Otto I, king of East Frankia and later Emperor of Germany (912-73) and was the ancestor of later German emperors. Her bones were rediscovered at Magdeburg Cathedral in 2008 and she is the only member of the Anglo-Saxon royal house whose remains have so far been the subject of scientific study (the project to examine the bones in the tomb chests at Winchester Cathedral is on-going and not yet published). This is the first book-length study of her life in English. It contains 7 maps, 39 colour photographs and 5 family trees, and endnotes for referencing..
