     Edgifu (?) married Edward I 'The Elder' (?) King of England, son of Alfred 'The Great' (?) King of England and Ealhswyth (?), in 916.¹ Edgifu (?) died on 25 August 953.¹

     Alfred 'The Great' (?) King of England Although Alfred's four siblings all had names that started with 'Ethel-', which in Saxon means 'of high birth,' Alfred's name means something totally different--elf counsel. Some historians speculate that Alfred was thus named by his mother, Osburga, whose name refers to nature pixies. Alfred's father King Ethelwulf sent him on a pilgrimage to Rome when the boy was just four. Ethelwulf had vowed to make the trip himself a decade before, and historians surmise that Alfred, as the youngest son, could be spared most readily. He travelled to Rome with a large retinue and was received by Pope Leo IV. Although some sources, including the Anglo-Saxon chronicle, say that Alfred was crowned, it is more probable that Leo confirmed him. Several years later, after Alfred's mother Osburga died, Ethelwulf finally made the pilgrimage himself, and took Alfred with him. They stayed in Rome for more than a year. According to his early biographer Asser, Alfred suffered the first bout of an unknown illness at his wedding. This illness brought him great pain and would plague him for another 20 years. Asser tells us that Alfred often prayed to rid himself of the mysterious ailment, and would give thanks that the sickness was not leprosy, which he feared. After he taught himself Latin at age 38, Alfred translated a work of Pope Gregory and sent a copy to each of his bishops. Alfred is the subject of the 1969 film, 'Alfred the Great.'

     Ethelwulf (?) King of England In his youth, Ethelwulf performed brilliantly as a general for his father Egbert. Ethelwulf's forces defeated the sub-king of Kent, with the result that Sussex, Essex, Surrey and Kent were added to the kingdom of Wessex. As king of Wessex, Ethelwulf worried increasingly about the Danish threat. After the winter of 850, while part of the Danish forces were engaged at Sandwich with Ethelwulf's eldest son Ethelstan, the main Danish army marched through Canterbury and London. Ethelwulf and his son Ethelbald defeated this army overwhelmingly. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the battle resulted in 'the biggest slaughter among the heathen host that we have ever heard tell of to this present day.²' He was born circa 806 at Wessex, England. He was the son of King Egbert (?) and Redburga (?).¹ Ethelwulf (?) King of England married Osburga (?). Ethelwulf (?) King of England was buried at Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire, England. He died on 13 January 855.¹

     King Egbert (?) married Redburga (?).¹ King Egbert (?) was born circa 775. He died on 4 February 839. He was buried at Wincester, England.¹ He Egbert was from the Wessex royal family of Cerdic, who was considered dangerous enough to Beorhtric, a puppet king for the Mercian ruler, that he was exiled. As a result, as an adolescent Egbert spent more than three years at the court of Charlemagne. A military leader of great skill, Egbert's first important victory was over the Mercians in 825. At the battle of Ellendun Egbert's forces completely defeated the Mercian troops, with the result, according to the Anglo-Saxon chronicle, that 'there was a great slaughter there.' He sent his son Ethelwulf against the sub-king of Kent, with the result that the kingdom of Wessex took in Kent, Sussex, Essex and Surrey. Four years later, Egbert led his army through Mercia, completely defeating the Mercian ruler. As a result, Egbert ruled a kingdom that united all Britain south of the Humber. During the last eight years of Egbert's life, he concentrated on the Welsh. Defeating West Wales, he became overlord of Cornwall and Devon. Egbert is considered as the eighth, or by some accounts the tenth, 'Bretwalda' (overlord or ruler of Britain). http://www.royalist.info/execute/biog?person=176.

     Elfthryth (?) Sometimes referred to as Elfrida. Elfthryth beat her son Ethelred (the Unready) with candles so hard and so often that he had a life-long phobia of them. Elfthryth was a nun at the time she died.² She was born in 945. She was the daughter of Ordgar (?) Earl of Devonshire.¹ Elfthryth (?) married King Edgar (?), son of King Edmund (?) I and Elfgifu (?), in 964.¹ Elfthryth (?) died in 1000 at Wherwell, Hampshire, England.

     Henry II "the Quarellsome" (?) Duke of Bavaria died in 995.

     Saint Margaret of Scotland (?) was born circa 1045. She was the daughter of Edward "The Exile" (?) and Agatha Arpad , Princess of Hungary. Saint Margaret of Scotland (?) married Malcolm III "Caenmoor" (?) King of Scots, son of Duncan I (?) King of the Scots. Saint Margaret of Scotland (?) died in 1093. She Saint Margaret of Scotland (circa 1045 - 1093), Edgar Atheling's sister, married King Malcolm Canmore.

The daughter of the English prince Edward the Exile or "Edward Outremer", son of Edmund Ironside, Margaret was probably born in Hungary. Her mother was Agatha and was said to be related to (according to some sources, daughter of) Giselle of Bavaria and St. Stephen king of Hungary. When her uncle, King Edward the Confessor, died in 1066, she went to England where her brother, Edgar Atheling, had decided to make a claim to the English throne. After the conquest of England by the Normans, the widowed Agatha decided to leave Northumberland with her children and return to the Continent, but a storm drove their ship to Scotland where they sought the protection of King Malcolm Canmore. The marriage of Malcolm and Margaret soon took place and was followed by several invasions of Northumberland by the Scottish king, probably in support of the claims of his brother-in-law Edgar. These, however, had little result beyond the devastation of the province.

Far more important were the effects of this alliance upon the history of Scotland. A considerable portion of the old Northumbrian kingdom had been reduced by the Scottish kings in the previous century, but up to this time the English population had little influence upon the ruling element of the kingdom. Malcolm's marriage undoubtedly improved the condition of the English to a great extent, and under Margaret's sons, Edgar, Alexander I and David I, the Scottish court practically became anglicized.

Margaret died on 16 November, 1093, four days after her husband and her eldest son Edward, who were killed in an invasion of Northumberland. She rebuilt the monastery of Iona, and was canonised in 1251 by Pope Innocent IV on account of her great benefactions to the Church.

The Roman Catholic church formerly marked the feast of Saint Margaret of Scotland on June 10, but the date was transfered to November 16 in the liturgical reform of 1972.

ABRAHAM SHAW married, June 24, 1616, in the parish of Halifax, Yorkshire, England, Bridget Best (baptized April 9, 1592, daughter of Henry Best of Ovenden). Their children whose baptisms were recorded in Halifax parish registers were Joseph, Grace, Martha (died young), Maria, John (died young), another John, and Martha. Joseph was baptized March 14, 1618, O.S. nearly three years after the marriage of his parents and that he had an elder sister, Susanna, appears from later evidence. The family came to New England some time in the early 1630's (after January 6, 1632, O.S. the date of the baptism of the youngest child, Martha). At first a proprietor in Watertown, Abraham Shaw lost his house and goods there by fire in October 1636, and probably soon after settled in Dedham, having been one of the subscribers to the Dedham Covenant earlier that year. He became a freeman of the Massachusetts Bay Colony the 9th of March 1636/7. At a town meeting in Dedham, November 23, 1638, the sale of land by Abraham Shaw to Ferdinando Adam, and by Joseph Shaw to Henry Brocke, was confirmed by note under hand, since neither of the Shaws was present. The father died before the following 25th of March (the first day of the new year 1639) since his inventory is dated 1638. His will is not dated and it seems to have been a mere Memorand and is soheaded. His wife is not named in it and the date of her death is not on record. Specific bequests were made to John and Martha, being infants, and also to Marye (Maria, baptized June 18, 1626, and now about twelve years old). 'My lott at Dedham' was to go to Joseph and John. 'All my children' are referred to but only the above four are individually named. Witnesses were Joseph Shawe and Nicholas Biram, and they were ordered by the court to make an inventory by help and advice of Mr. Edward Allen. Thomas Lechford, the first professional lawyer in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, spent about three years in Boston (27 June 1638-3 Aug. 1641). His note book contains not only the record of every instrument drawn by him while here but an account of the compensation he received. One entry concerns Abraham Shawe, sometime of Halifax in the County of York and late of Dedham in New England, who made his last will and testament about November 1638 and thereby made Joseph Shawe his eldest son and Nicholas Biram his son-in-law his executors. (Joseph Shaw in his will, years later, called Nicholas Byram his brother, thus confirming Thomas Lechford's statement of the relationship.) A power of attorney was executed and sent to Mr. [blank] Best of Halifax enabling him to attend to certain matters in England (to receive all profitts of Colemines whatsoever & the same Colemines to sell &c). Mr. Lechford's fee was five shillings. Weymouth became the home of the Shaw family and at a town meeting in Dedham November 29, 1639, Robert Mason asked and received liberty to purchase Joseph Shawe and John Shawe their Lott which was given them by their Fathers last will and testament.

In that year he signed the famous Dedham Covenant. In the old country he was a clothier and a man of some property. He was a planter at Dedham. When he first came to America he went to Watertown, Massachusetts, where he was a proprietor in 1636; his house was burned in October of that year, whereupon he seems to have removed to Dedham, where he was a constable in 1636-37-38. and was admitted a freeman March 9, 1637. He removed to Cambridge and was a town officer there in 1640. He was owner of coal mines in Halifax and November 2, 1637, shortly before his death, he received a grant of half the coal and iron he might find in the common lands.
