devoted to the cult of Saint Oswald and was instrumental in introducing this cult into Germany after her marriage
to the emperor. Her lasting influence may have caused certain monasteries and churches in Saxony to be dedicated to this saint.HJRY.
bur TombHer tomb is located in the Cathedral of Magdeburg. A lead coffin inside a stone sarcophagus with her name on it was found and opened in 2008
by archaeologists during work on the building. An inscription recorded that it was the body of Eadgyth, reburied in 1510.
It was examined in 2009, then brought to Bristol, England, for tests in 2010. Professor Mark Horton of Bristol University
said that "this may prove to be the oldest complete remains of an English royal." The investigations at Bristol, applying
isotope tests on tooth enamel, checked whether she was born and brought up in Wessex and Mercia, as written history has indicated.
Testing on the bones revealed that they are the remains of Eadgyth, from study made of the enamel of the teeth in her upper jaw.
Testing of the enamel revealed that the individual entombed at Magdeburg had spent time as a youth in the chalky uplands of Wessex.
