Saxon, Welsh and Irish names before the Conquest were subject to a number of variations in spelling and pronunciation. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle refers to Harold Godwine's wife as Ealdgyth, for example; a name that many scholars have accepted. However, she is also variously referred to as Edyth, Aldith, Aldyth and Algifu. To simplify a confused situation I have limited her to two names, the Saxon Edyth and the Welsh Aldith. Other names of persons and places are those most generally accepted by modern scholars.
