Wynflæd orǷynflæd (diedc. 950 or 960) was anAnglo-Saxon noblewoman and a major landowner in the areas ofHampshire,Somerset,Dorset andWiltshire.[1] Wynflæd is likely a widow vowess primarily connected to royal foundation atShaftesbury Abbey,[2] with further connections to royal nunnery atWilton Abbey. There is ongoing debate if she was the mother ofAelfgifu of Shaftesbury and thus the grandmother of KingsEadwig andEdgar the Peaceful.[3]

Wynflæd's Will

[edit]
Will of Wynflæd, circa AD 950 (11th-century copy,British Library Cotton Charters viii. 38)[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 (modernNetherton, Hampshire) andCharlton 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 theBritish Library exhibitionAnglo-Saxon Kingdoms: Art, Word, War[6] and included in the exhibition catalogue edited byClaire Breay andJoanna Story.[7]
