I don't see where gods mother comes in. Can you be a little clearer? Also, please add your name with four tildes (~~~~).
Hereward
Quote: "but it appears that he was not the father of Hereward the Wake (whose father appears to have been a lesser thegn)." Upon what grounds is this assertion made? (RJP 20:01, 16 April 2006 (UTC))
The novel, Hereward the Wake by Charles Kingsley is based upon Hereward being the son of Leofric and Godiva, but there is nothing to support this assertion. -Streona —Preceding unsigned comment added by Streona (talk • contribs) 14:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Though never directly stated as Leofrics son Herewald is named as both 'Earls son' and of Bourne from which we can only assume that he is connected to leofric and his role in the rebellion would seem to support that claim. Yes, there is no evidence making him Leofric's son but just as equally there no evidence denying it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.150.120.80 (talk) 00:19, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Cnut
What battles took place in 1017? Was not Northman assassinated along with Eadric Streona, Aethelnmaer se Greata, Ceorlacyng and any of Ethelred's sons he could find ? Also it seems that Leofric was given the Earldom of Mercia even though his father, Leofwine did not die until 1023, although Eadric Streona had previously held the title. It appears that Ealdorman of the Hwicce was a separate position.Streona (talk) 15:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
