Wulfthryth of Wilton

Wulfthryth, also known as Wilfrida (died c. 1000), was the second known consort of Edgar, King of England in the early 960s. Historians disagree whether she was his wife or mistress. Their daughter Edith was widely regarded in the eleventh century as a saint. In 964, Edgar married Ælfthryth, and then or earlier, Wulfthryth returned to Wilton Abbey, where she had been brought up, with her daughter. Wulfthryth remained there for the rest of her life as Abbess and died on 21 September in an unknown year, around 1000. She was regarded as a saint at Wilton, but her cult did not spread more widely.^[1]
