 Hereswith remained in Gaul for the rest of her life.The identity of Hereswith's husband Æthilric is shown in the East Anglian dynastic tally known as the "Anglian collection" and in the list given in the Historia Brittonum, since Æthilric is in both cases shown as the father of Ealdwulf and Bede states that Hild was Ealdwulf's aunt.It is unlikely that other versions which make her the wife of Æthelhere or of Anna can be correct, since her departure for the religious life in Gaul preceded their deaths.
