Edith of England (910 -946) was the daughter of Edward the Elder, King of England and Ælfflæd. She became the wife of Otto I, the Holy Emperor. Her name is also spelt Eadgyth and Ædgyth.
Grandparents were Alfred the Great, King of Wessex and his wife Ealhswith. King Athelstan of England sent two of his sisters to Germany and instructed Otto I to choose whichever one pleased him the most. He chose Edith, aged 19 at the time, and they were married in 929. Edith was devoted to the cult of Saint Oswald, as was her brother Athelstan, and was instrumental in introducing the cult to Germany.
Eadgyth died in AD946 and was buried in a convent at Magdeburg, a city given to her by Otto. Two late mediæval statues in the cathedral there are thought to portray Otto and Eadgyth. She was 36 when she died and was believed to have had two children. Her bones were moved on at least three occasions before being interred in an elaborate tomb in Madgeburg Cathedral in 1510.
