EADWINE (-drowned English Channel 933, bur St Bertin's Abbey, Flanders). The Book of Hyde names "Ethelwardum…et Edwynum" as the two sons of King Eadweard by his first wife "Elfelmi comitis filia Elfleda"[1673]. According to William of Malmesbury, he was accused of involvement in the plot by Ælfred against his half-brother King Æthelstan, was "driven into exile" but was drowned at sea while crossing the Channel, although the chronicler appears sceptical about the truth of the story[1674]. Simeon of Durham records that "King Ethelstan ordered his brother Eadwin to be drowned in the sea" in 933[1675]. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 932 of "Edwinus rex Anglorum", which suggests that Edwin may have had Flemish support for his rebellion and that they recognised him as king[1676].
