Description
Eadwing dragged by Dunstan from Aelfgifu. Eadwig (Edwy) (940 - October 959) was a King of England (955-959). According to the earliest life of St Dunstan, written around the year 1000, Eadwig left the banquet which followed his coronation in Kingston, and was found cavorting with a noblewoman named Aethelgifu and her daughter, Aelfgifu. Dunstan dragged him back to the banquet. An enraged Eadwing deprived Dunstan of his abbacy of Glastonbury and forced him into exile.
