Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Edith of Wessex, (c. 1029 19 December 1075), married King Edward the Confessor of England in 1045. The marriage produced no children. Later ecclesiastical writers claimed that this was either because Edward took a vow of celibacy, or because he refused to consummate the marriage because of his antipathy to Edith''s family, the Godwins. However, in the view of Edward''s biographer, Frank Barlow, "The theory that Edward''s childlessness was due to deliberate abstention from sexual relations lacks authority, plausibility and diagnostic value."Edith was the daughter of Godwin, Earl of Wessex, one of the most powerful men in England at the time of King Edward''s rule. Her mother Gytha Thorkelsdóttir was sister of Ulf Jarl, and by tradition descended from saga hero Styrbjörn Starke and king Harold I of Denmark.
