Question
Answer the following about Ælfgyva (“ALF-yee-vuh”), a woman depicted being touched in the face by an unnamed cleric on the Bayeux Tapestry, for 10 points each.
[10m] Some historians have identified Ælfgyva as this queen, who walked barefoot across burning plowshares to disprove adultery allegations. Her husband committed the Saint Brice’s Day Massacre.
ANSWER: Emma of Normandy (Her husband was Æthelred II.)
[10h] That theory likens the Ælfgyva scene to Emma’s adultery with Ælfwine (“ALF-win-uh”), a bishop stationed in this city. William Caxton based his manuscript of Le Morte D’Arthur (“luh MORT dar-TOOR”) on one later discovered in this city by Walter Oakeshott.
ANSWER: Winchester [accept Ælfwine of Winchester or Bishop of Winchester; accept Winchester Manuscript]
[10e] Others propose Ælfgyva is a mistress and later wife of this Danish victor at the 1016 Battle of Assandun. Alfred and this son of Sweyn Forkbeard are the only kings of England with the epithet “the Great.”
ANSWER: Cnut the Great [or Canute; or Knútr]
