  SOURCE: Mereworth itself, a pretty Kentish village with a fine Palladian mansion, may well belong to the descendants of Earl Leofwine who fell at Hastings; or perhaps to the Romano-British clan turfed out even earlier by the Anglo-Saxons. Neither claimant is short on the colourful baggage which may have been the greatest virtue of the hereditaries. The Leofwine family includes Lady Godiva, a title whose absence from Westminster the nation can genuinely mourn.

  MARRIAGE: Leofwine married Alware of Mercia, daughter of Athelstan Manesson and Unknown. (Alware of Mercia was born in 955.)
  BIOGRAPHY: The Rise of Harold's Father
 Canute replaced all but two of the Saxon nobles, Godwine & Leofwine with his Scandinavian followers . For example the new Earl of Hereford was a man called Hrani. In fact Hrani & Godwine were the only two of Canute's original appointees to last his reign until the monarch's death in 1035.
  MISCELLANEOUS: LEOFWINE m
 Usage: Anglo-Saxon
 Means "dear friend", derived from the Old English elements leof "dear, agreeable, beloved" and wine "friend". This was the name of a 8th-century English saint, also known as Lebuin, who did missionary work in Frisia.
