Wynflaed

Wynflæd or Ƿynflæd (died c. 950 or 960) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman and a major landowner in the areas of Hampshire, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.

There is ongoing debate if she was the mother of Aelfgifu of Shaftesbury and thus the grandmother of Kings Eadwig and Edgar the Peaceful.

[4] Wynflæd's will has provided scholars with ample materials to better understand tenth-century England and Wessex in particular, including social conditions, material goods, familial strategies, religious women and legal processes.

[5] Her will lists holdings and estates including Faccombe Netherton (modern Netherton, Hampshire) and Charlton Horethorne along with further manors and lands, and moveable goods such as tents, chests, cups, and clothing.

In 2018–19, Wynflæd's will was displayed in the British Library exhibition Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms: Art, Word, War[6] and included in the exhibition catalogue edited by Claire Breay and Joanna Story.
