Talk:Elgiva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There seem to be at least two Elgivas:
One (d. 944) was the mother of Edwy of England (whose page lists both his mother and his wife for this name, each linking to this page.) and of Edgar of England; she was the wife of Edmund I of England, and had the title of Queen of England. She is also considered a saint.
The other was the wife of Edwy of England.
An alternate form of the name is Æthelgifu.
Not sure how to go about making a disambiguation page. --Magda 18:24, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Elgiva and Chesham?
At some time around the Medieval or Tudor period there was a Lady Elgiva associated with Cestrham(?) or Chesham.
The Elgiva's were one of the major local familes as were the Lowndes's.
Much later the name Elgiva was used for the Chesham (Bucks,UK) theatre.
