[1] Gunhild remained in England after her father's death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and following in the footsteps of her aunt, Edith of Wessex, received her education at Wilton Abbey.
[5] According to Elizabeth Tyler, she is depicted as an ordinary member of the convent and while her original entry into the abbey might have been a political move by her father with the intention of making her the abbess.
[6] Gunhild left the abbey in 1093 and eloped with Alan the Red, one of the richest men in the kingdom of England according to the Domesday book in 1086.
[8] No records of descendants remain, but the historian Richard Sharpe argued that Alan the Red and Gunhild had a daughter named Matilda, who was the wife of Walter D'Aincourt.
He bases his argument on Matilda's donations to St Mary's Abbey including land previously owned by Alan the Red and Edgyth the fair.
