Wynthryth

Last updated

Wynthryth of March was an early medieval saint [1] of Anglo Saxon England. [2]

He is known to history from the Secgan Hagiography [3] [4] and The Confraternity Book of St Gallen. [5] [6] Very little is known of his life or career. However, he was associated with the town of March, Cambridgeshire, [7] and he may have been a relative of King Ethelstan. [8]
