great statesman of the reign of Edward the Confessor [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p145]

In 1913, Alfred Anscombe in _Transactions of the Royal Historical Society_, 3rd ser, vol. 7, suggested that Godwine was a descendant of King Aethelred I through Aethelweard the historian, who d. ca. 1002. His evidence was the descent of land from Aethelweard to Godwine or to Godwine's children. Anscombe, however, was not able to fill in the two intervening generations between Aethelweard and Godwine. The missing generations were provided by Lundie W. Barlow in an article in NEHGR in 1957 (111:30-38), also based on land descent; Moriarty accepted Barlow's conclusions. The arguments were strengthened by David Kelley in a major article on Aethelred I's descendants in the Charles Evans Festschrift.
Bierbrier, however, reviewed the Evans Festchrift in the Genealogists' Magazine and said that Kelley (and by implication Anscombe, Barlow, and Moriarty) were wrong and that Godwine was a "new man" who had received his lands en bloc from Cnut. Bierbrier cited several recent studies on Cnut and Godwine which reach this conclusion, although so far as I can tell, they provide no contemporary evidence for the source of Godwine's land.
It is certain that Godwine or his children possessed a number of manors that had been in the possession of Aethelweard and his ancestors. If Godwine received the land through inheritance, he was a descendant of the royal house of Wessex. But if he received it through Danish expropriation of the Saxon possessors of the land, it provides no evidence for Godwine's ancestry. [Ref: David Greene SGM 2/18/1998]
