The 12th-century historian William of Malmesbury, who seems unaware of any pre-existing minster, claims that one Æthelweard ( Egelwardus ), whom he describes as " ealdorman of Dorset ", had founded the abbey of Pershore in the time of King Edgar.

Some scholars have identified him with Æthelweard, the well-known chronicler and ealdorman of the western shires.

It has been suggested that he was a kinsman of the ealdorman Æthelweard.

Æthelweard ( also spelled Ethelward ), ( died c. 998 ) Anglo-Saxon historian, was descended from King Æthelred I ( who was the brother of Alfred the Great ), and was ealdorman or earl of the western provinces.

It has been postulated that Æthelweard and his siblings Ælfweard, Ælfgifu and Ælfwaru were the children of Eadric, ealdorman of Hampshire.

Æthelweard was father of Æthelmær the Stout, who was ealdorman of the Western provinces towards the end of Æthelred II's reign.

Æthelweard and Ælfweard re-appear as brothers and thegns ( ministri ) in the witness list of a spurious royal charter dated 974 This appears to be the same Æthelweard who regularly attests royal charters between 958 and 977 as the king's thegn and may have moved on to become the illustrious ealdorman of the Western Provinces and author of a Latin chronicle, in which he claimed descent from King Æthelred of Wessex ( d. 871 ), fourth son of King Æthelwulf.

The conclusion which can be derived from these prosopographical byways is that if the ealdorman and chronicler Æthelweard was her brother, she must have shared with him a common ancestor in King Æthelred.

Æthelweard describes himself as the " grandson's grandson " of King Æthelred I. Eadwig was the son of King Edmund the Magnificent, grandson of King Edward the Elder, great-grandson of King Alfred the Great, and therefore great-great-nephew of King Æthelred I. Eadwig and Ælfgifu were therefore third cousins once removed.

In 957 King Eadwig, the great-grandson of King Æthelred I's brother, Alfred the Great, was obliged to divorce Æthelweard's sister Ælfgifu on grounds of consanguinity, and in the introduction to his Latin Chronicle Æthelweard claims to be the " grandson's grandson " of King Æthelred.

Assuming that the identification of Æthelweard as the brother of Ælfgifu is correct, his mother was the Æthelgifu whose company Eadwig enjoyed along with her daughter whilst escaping his coronation.

Æthelnoth was a son of the Æthelmær the Stout and a grandson of Æthelweard the Historian, who was a great-great-grandson of Æthelred I.

Æthelnoth's elevation probably was a gesture of appeasement, as Æthelnoth's brother Æthelweard had been executed in 1017 by Cnut, who also banished a brother-in-law named Æthelweard in 1020.

In the Viking period, the chronicler Æthelweard reports that the most important town in Angeln was Hedeby.

It was at Cerne, and partly at the desire, it appears, of Æthelweard, that he planned the two series of his English homilies ( edited by Benjamin Thorpe, 1844 – 1846, for the Ælfric Society and more recently by Malcolm Godden and Peter Clemoes for the Early English Text Society ), compiled from the Christian fathers, and dedicated to Sigeric, Archbishop of Canterbury ( 990-994 ).

There are several examples of tenth-century ealdormen whose sons became ealdormen ( if not always of the same district ), such as Æthelstan Half-King and Æthelweard the Chronicler.

Æthelweard first witnesses charters as a minister after the accession of Eadwig in 955, and this is likely to be connected with the king's marriage to Ælfgifu.

Oshere, King of Hwicce, possibly jointly with his presumed brother Osric, and ( perhaps after Osric ) with Æthelmod, Æthelheard, Æthelweard, Æthelberht, and Æthelric.

King Alfred the Great and the chronicler Æthelweard identified this place with the district that is now called Angeln, in the province of Schleswig ( Slesvig ) ( though it may then have been of greater extent ), and this identification agrees with the indications given by Bede.

He later married Ælfgifu, who seems to have been the sister of Æthelweard the Chronicler.

Æthelred's descendants include the tenth century historian, Æthelweard, and Æthelnoth, an eleventh century Archbishop of Canterbury.
