- Athelstan (#14823) [Ref: Weir RoyalFam p4]
Research Notes:
if Ecgbeorht's wife was indeed a "sororia" (sister-in-law) of a Frankish king,
then Louis the Pious would be chronologically the most likely. However, the
source is late and not necessarily reliable [Ref: HenryII egber000 12/7/2011]
sister of the Frankish King [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p16]
said to have been the sister of the King of the Franks, who at that time
was Charlemagne, but her identity is uncertain [Ref: Weir RoyalFam p4]
'regis Francorum sororia' [Ref: Wagner PedigreeProgress #29]
There is no contempory source for Egbert's wife. The name 'Raedburh' comes
from a medieval mauscript quoted by W. G. Searle (Anglo-Saxon Bishops, Kings,
and Nobles, London 1899, 343) as "MS Trin Coll Oxf x". She is described there
as "regis Francorun sororia" which can only be a reference to Charlemagne;
however there is no such sister known. Since Egbert was certainly in exile at
Charlemagne's court, it is perfectly plausible that he married his wife there.
If the tradition has any value, then the best guess is that she was probably a
sister-in-law, but she could just as well have been a lady of the Court.
Settipani (La prehistoire des Capetiens, 308 n791) is willing to accept the
name. [Ref: Chris Bennett SGM 2/15/1997]
