Eadburh
F, b. circa 830
| Relationship | 36th great-grandmother of Pamela Joyce Wood |
Eadburh was born circa 830 at Mercia, England. She married Æthelred Mucil; The main source for Æthelred Mucil is Asser's Life of King Alfred, which states that Ælfred's wife (name not given) was a daughter of Æthelred Mucil by his wife Eadburh, of royal Mercian descent.
Asser records that Alfred's mother-in-law "Edburga of the royal line of Mercia…was a venerable lady and after the decease of her husband, she remained many years a widow, even till her own death". According to Weir, she was perhaps the daughter of Cenwulf King of Mercia. The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified, and the chronology is not favourable considering King Cenwulf's death in 821.
