Chroniclers, writing in the 12th century, transcribed such bequests, from the original cyrographs. Ælfwaru's cyrograph has not survived. Ælfwaru's father, Æthelstan Mannessune, had two sons: Eadnoth, and Godric; and two daughters: Ælfwaru, and Ælfwyn. LineageHer lineage is unknown. However, modern historians have constructed a plausible family tree. Ælfwaru is believed to be one of two daughters to Æthelstan Mannessune (d. 986),[4] the other being Ælfwyn, abbess of Chatteris.[5] If this is the case, Ælfwaru's brothers were St Eadnoth[6] the martyr (d. 1016), first abbot of Ramsey, and Godric (d.1013).[7] DeathÆlfwaru is believed to have died on, or at least her obituary recorded for, 27 February.[8] Liber Benefactorum Ecclesiae Ramesiensis records the year, 1007[9] Thus 27 February 1007. LegacyIt is recorded within one chronicle, Liber Eliensis, that Ælfwaru granted to Ely Abbey the lands of Bridgham, Hingham, Weeting, Rattlesden, Mundford,[10] Thetford,[11] and fisheries around those marshes. Ælfwaru also granted the lands of Over and Barley to Chatteris nunnery, where her sister was abbess.[12] The fisheries mentioned here are interesting. They link the Ælfwaru mentioned in Liber Eliensis, with the Ælfwaru, daughter of Æthelstan Mannessune, whose cyrograph is documented in Liber Benefactorum Ecclesiae Ramesiensis.[7] If this is indeed the same Ælfwaru, then her father bequeathed lands to his children, including a fishery, which he shared out between his unnamed wife, his sons, and his two daughters.[13] The name Ælfwaru is made out of two parts; old English (OE) Ælf- and -waru. Ælf- means Elf- or magical being and -waru (singular; -wara plural) means guardian of (a particular place) by profession.[14] ReferencesNotes1. ^Korablev - A host of masculine and feminine names in Anglo-Saxon 2. ^OED affix Elf- (OE) Ælf- 3. ^OED suffix (OE) -waru 4. ^Wright (ed.) p. 307 5. ^Wareham, pp. 51–52 6. ^Wareham, pp. 49–50 7. ^1 Brooks (ed.) p. 51 8. ^1 MS Cambridge, Trinity College O. 2.1 9. ^1 Ramsey Cartulary iii 167 10. ^Fairweather p. 159 11. ^Fairweather p. 159 note 294 12. ^Wareham, pp. 51{{spaced ndash}}52 13. ^Brooks (ed.) p. 51 14. ^OED affix Elf- (OE) Ælf- and suffix -ware (OE) -waru Bibliography{{refbegin}}
