Todd A. Farmerie wrote: "The parentage of Aelgifu, wife of Aelfgar is unknown. There are a wealth of wills and other such documents refering to the family of Aethelred II, and the chances that a daughter, particularly one so prominant, would escape notice, is slim indeed.

Rechecking the sources I cited, I find that you are correct, at least as regards the wife of AElfgar. However, as Elgiva, both Weis and Weir list her as wife of Uchtred.

Ethelred II(Old English: Æþelred), known as the Unready (968-1013 and 1014-1016), was a King of England.

According to William of Malmesbury, Ethelred defecated in the baptismal font as a child, which led St. Dunstan to prophesy that the English monarchy would be overthrown during Ethelred's reign.

Ethelred succeeded to the throne aged 10 following the death of his father King Edgar and subsequent murder of his half-brother Edward the Martyr. His nickname "The Unready" does not mean that he was ill-prepared, but derives from the Anglo-Saxon unræd meaning without counsel. This is also a pun on his name, the Anglo-Saxon form of his name, Æþelred, which means "Well advised".

Ethelred had at least sixteen children from two marriages, the second of these, in 1002, being to Emma of Normandy, whose great-nephew, William I of England, would later use this relationship as the basis of his claim on the throne.

He attempted to buy off the Vikings by payment of what was to become known as Danegeld; he had little choice in the matter since he was unable to place any trust in his generals.

In 1013, Ethelred fled to Normandy, seeking protection by his brother-in-law, Robert of Normandy, when England was over-run by Svein Haraldsson of Denmark and his forces. He returned in February, 1014, following the death of Svein Haraldsson. Ethelred died on April 23, 1016, in London, where he was buried. He was succeeded by his son, Edmund II of England."

1014-Following the death of Sweyn I, Ethelred II returns to England and retakes the English crown.

Aethelred II, the Redless, King of England: Aethelred was born in England 968. Aethelred died 1016 in England, at 48 years of age.
