- Ancestry_of_the_Godwins abstract "Very little is known for certain of the Ancestry of the Godwins, the family of the last Anglo-Saxon king, Harold II. Even the Life of Edward the Confessor, commissioned by his wife Edith, who was Harold's sister, is surprisingly silent on the subject. In a section designed to eulogise her family, their father Godwin is described as "blessed in his ancestral stock", but nothing further is said of this stock. In the view of historian Frank Barlow: "There is massive evasion here." A later medieval tradition that he was the son of a churl or a farmer is generally discounted by historians.In the will of Æthelred the Unready's son Æthelstan Ætheling in 1014, there is a bequest to a Godwin, returning lands that had belonged to his father, Wulfnoth. According to John of Worcester, Godwin was the son of a Wulfnoth who was the son of Æthelmær, brother of Eadric Streona, both sons of an otherwise unknown Æthelric. In the view of nineteenth-century historian William Hunt, this is almost impossible chronologically. Historians think that he was probably the son of the outlawed South Saxon thegn Wulfnoth Cild.In her Online Dictionary of National Biography article on Godwin's son, King Harold Godwinson, Robin Fleming says of Godwin: "The origins of this parvenu are extremely obscure." He was "the quintessential new man". Ann Williams, in her Online DNB article on Godwin, was less dismissive, saying that "Wulfnoth's appellation cild ('child', 'young man', 'warrior') is normally only used of men of rank". Frank Barlow goes further, arguing that Godwin must have been of aristocratic origin, and that the family's massive land holdings in Sussex are indisputable evidence that the Wulfnoth who was Godwin's father was the South Saxon thegn.".
