EADGIFU OF ENGLAND
'Eadgifu' (b. 902, d. after 955) or 'Edgifu', was a daughter of Edward the Elder, King of Wessex and England, and his second wife Aelffaed. She was born in Wessex.
She was the second wife of King Charles III of France, whom she married in 919 after the death of his first wife, Frederonne; she was mother to Louis d'Outremer of France.
In 922 Charles III was deposed and the next year taken prisoner by Count Herbert II of Vermandois, an ally of the present king. To protect her son's safety Eadgifu took him to England in 923, where he stayed until 936, when he was called back to France to be crowned king.
