2. | Ælfwynn of Mercia (1.Æthelflæd1) was born in say 888. Other Events and Attributes:
- Charter/Grant/Gift: About 904; The first contemporary written evidence of Ælfwynn is dated to around 904, a charter recording the lease of land by Æthelred and Æthelflæd for the traditional three lives—those of Æthelred, Æthelflæd and Ælfwynn—in and around Worcester from Bishop Waerferth and the monks and clerics of Worcester Cathedral.
- Offices Held: From 12 June 918 to Dec 1918; When her mother died on 12 June 918, she became the ruler of Mercia, but only until December. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: Here also the daughter of Æthelred, Lord of the Mercians, was deprived of all control in Mercia, and was led into Wessex three weeks before Christmas. by Edward the Elder. Her accession was the only example of rule passing from one woman to another in the early medieval period in the British Isles.
- Miscellaneous: 919; There is no certain record of Ælfwynn after her removal from power. In Maggie Bailey's view, she probably entered holy orders.

Shashi Jayakumar suggests that she may have been the Ælfwynn who was wife of Æthelstan Half-King and foster-mother of the future King Edgar

When his father died in 1240, he soon rose in revolt and regained much of what had been lost on his father's death.

He also says that the king, like a woman, stayed from from the fight in comfort and safety. By 1245, Dafydd was pursued into Northern Wales. When winter came, the English forces withdrew, but the revolt crumbled when Dafydd died.
Died:
He died without issue.
