Seaxburh of Wessex : ウィキペディア英語版 | Seaxburh of Wessex
Seaxburh (died c. 674) was a Queen of Wessex. She is also called Queen of the Gewisse, an early name for the tribe which ruled Wessex. She is said to have ruled Wessex for about a year after the death of her husband, Cenwalh, in 672. It was extremely rare for a woman to rule in her own right in Anglo-Saxon England, and she was the only woman to appear in a regnal list. She may have ruled for over a year, as the next reign is entered in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' in 674. However, Bede said that after death of Cenwalh "sub-kings took upon themselves the government of the kingdom", so the chroniclers may have tidied up a complicated situation.〔(Barbara Yorke, ''Seaxburh'', Oxford Online Dictionary of National Biography, 2004 )〕〔Ann Williams, Alfred P. Smyth and D. P. Kirby, ''A Biographical Dictionary of Dark Age Britain'', 1991, p. 210〕 She was succeeded in about 674 by Æscwine.〔(Rulers of Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕 ==See also==
