Biography
Ealdgyth's parents were Uhtred and Algiva and her spouse was Maldred. Maldred profiles need to be merged (same person)
The Birth And Death dates are best guess for an approximate range. Please provide some informed discussion here on this Bio section of profile
Eldest son Gospatric
Maldred FitzMaldred was younger son.
Some of the children attached are incorrect, perhaps duplicates, or misidentified. Will need discussion and changes. The system also throws up a red banner advising that some of children's birth dates are inconsistent with her death date
FWIW, never during his lifetime was he designated Earl of Dunbar, however he was granted Dunbar, and lands around Lothian by Malcolm III. Earl of Northumbria, Lord of Allerdale Carlisle, are appropriate titles.

Thanks for the merge and comments entered in prior weeks.
I will make some minor clean ups. Have some notes at my home base where i should be in next 10-15 days and will write up some biography comments about her significant marriage
More research needed on the dates for this person - the birth year has been revised to reflect others in her family but this is an estimate only.
Northumbria-6 and Northumberland-87 appear to represent the same person because: Whatever inconsistencies there are it is absolutely obvious that these are intended to be the same people. So please do not remove the merge request: fix the information instead.
I think the image should actually be removed, it is from a book that is still within copyright.
