punkttegn  Notater:

Edith the Fair (Old English: Ealdg?ð Swann hnesce, "Edyth the Gentle Swan"; c. 1025 - c. 1086), also known as Edith Swanneck, was the first wife of King Harold Godwinson. "Swanneck" (or Swan-Neck) comes from the folk etymology which made her in Old English as swann hnecca, "swan neck", which was actually most likely a corrupted form of swann hnesce, "Gentle Swan" . She is sometimes confused with Ældgyth, daughter of Ealdorman Ælfgar of Mercia, who was queen during Harold's reign.
