In brief
Fled to Scotland with her mother and brother in 1068. Entered Romsey Abbey in 1086 and raised her niece Edith there, which is why Henry I had to prove in 1100 that his bride had never taken the veil. Her death date is not recorded; about 1100 is a guess.
What is uncertain
- The record as a whole is rated medium confidence.
