Ieldra Æthelgifu was the Ieldra of London until the eve of the English Civil War in 1642, when she vanished to Edinburgh to seize power there.

Dunstan’s forcible separation of Eadwig from the two women is presented as the genesis for a feud that plays out between Dunstan and the older of the two women, Æthelgifu.

For examples, St. Albans was given 20 cows as payment for the burial of Æthelgifu but was gifted land at Westwick, land at Goddesden, 30 mancuses of gold, 30 oxen, 150 sheep and a swine heard.

Signatures to a charter make it certain that she was the wife of Eadwig, and that her mother's name was Æthelgifu.
