About Edith the Fair

Edith the Fair, also known as Edith Swanneck, was one of the wealthiest magnates in England on the eve of the Norman Conquest and may also have been the first wife of King Harold Godwinson. "Swanneck" comes from the folk etymology that made of her name, Swann Hnecca in Old English, "Swan Neck". The formula was actually most likely a corrupted form of Swann Hnesce, "Gentle Swan".
