Wynflaed (d. ca 950/960) was an Anglo-Saxon noblewoman, a major landowner in the 
areas of Hampshire, Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.[2] There is some debate as to 
whether or not she should be assumed to be the same Wynflaed who was the mother 
of Aelfgifu of Shaftesbury and likely the grandmother of Kings Eadwig and Edgar the 
Peaceful,[3] but many historians think this is probable.[4]

Her will lists holdings and estates including Faccombe Netherton (modern Netherton, 
Hampshire) and Charlton Horethorne along with estates and moveable goods such as 
tents, chests, cups, and clothing. Wynflaed is acknowledged as a widow vowess 
probably connected to Shaftesbury Abbey,[5] with connections also to Wilton Abbey, 
another royal abbey.
