She was never called queen and she never witnessed any charters during Alfredâ€™s administration. But she was the mother of illustrious children and she is remembered as â€œthe true and beloved lady of the Englishâ€. Ealhswithâ€™s mother was a scholar named Eadburgh who was well known at court. King Burhred of Mercia was invaded by the â€œGreat Armyâ€ of Scandinavians and they had camped out near Nottingham. Burhred sent a message to Alfred and Aethelred, appealing for help in the fight. Alfred and Aethelred took their troops to Nottingham and began a siege. This is where Alfred met and wooed Ealhswith. To seal the alliance with Mercia, Alfred and Ealhswith were married. The ceremony took place in the royal vill of Sutton Courtenay. There was feasting and gift-giving that lasted long into the night. But the festivities were interrupted when Alfred fell ill. We donâ€™t really know what the illness was but he seemed to suffer from some intestinal disorder. It was the beginning of an affliction that would last for the rest of his life. At Christmas in January of 878, the Viking leader Guthrum made a surprise attack on Alfredâ€™s royal palace at Chippenham. Alfred fled with Ealhswith and his family to the rough and desolate island of Athelney in Somerset where they lived for about four months. Place of Burial: Winchester Cathedral, London, England
