Cnut’s first wife is variously named in this article as Aelgifu and Aelfgifu. In other similar articles I have read she is name Aelfgifu. I believe Aethelred’s first wife was also name Aelfgifu which was translated as ‘Elf gift’. I think the article should be consistent.
Thank you, Nigel, for your feedback. Your point is well taken, her name should be spelled consistently. The text will be revised appropriately. Thank you again for taking the time to help make New World Encyclopedia a valuable information resource.
