The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 22 Jun 1999, by Leo van de Pas:
The son of Leofric and Godiva :
Alfgar "the Saxon", Earl of Mercia, died circa 1059/1062 was married to Elfgifu, daughter of Sigeferth and Ealdgyth. In 1055, he was forced to seek the protection of Gruffyd in Wales, in that year Gruffyd and Alfgar burned down St.Aethelbert's minster and all the town of Hereford.
In 1058 Alfgar, without having given reason, was outlawed, and went to Ireland and Wales where he got himself a great band and then travelled to Hereford. After a violent battle Alfgar was reinstated and given back all that had earlier been taken from him.
Alfgar and Elfgifu are the parents of :
1.Edwin
2.Morcar
3.Ealdgyth of Mercia married (1) circa 1056 Gruffyd ap Llywelyn, King of Deheubarth 1044-1063, son of Llywelyn ap Seiswill, King of Deheubarth and Gwynedd, and Angharad of Wales
