Saint Æthelflæda of Romsey (born c. 962) was an early Abbess ofRomsey Abbey in the reign ofKing Edgar. Her identity is obscure, though in later stories she was said to be the daughter of a tenth-century nobleman.[1]
Æthelflæda appears in a small number of eleventh- and twelfth-century monastic calendars.[1] A 14th-century life of her, amongst a collection of saints lives once belonging to Romsey Abbey, is held in theBritish Library'sLansdowne manuscripts, MS Lansdowne 436, fols. 43v-45v.[2][3]
