Biography
Christina, sister of Edgar Aethling
Christina said to be the sister of Edgar Aethling.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Some sources suggest she married a Ralph de Limesi.[2][3][7], another that her lands were given to Ralph de Limesi following her brother's rebellion.[5]
"Cristina retired to the nunnery of Romsey (Hants), and her lands came into possession of the Limesis."[4]
Jackson[8] has refuted the claim that Ralph de limesi was a nephew of William the Conqueror.
