(Edgifu (Eadgifu) of Wessex [3612] was born in 902 in Wessex, England and died about 951.). The cause of her death was In Childbirth.

bullet Marriage Notes:

She retired to a convent in Laon. Some sources say that in 951, she left the convent and married Herbert III, Count of Vermandois son of Adalbert, but this is likely an error as Herbert was not born until 953. More likely she married the Herbert son of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois born about 920.
