 Despite the new prominence of Edward the Martyr as a saint interred at Shaftesbury, her cult continued to flourish in later Anglo-Saxon England, as evidenced by her inclusion in a list of saints' resting places, at least 8 pre-Conquest calendars and 3 or 4 litanies from Winchester.Ælfgifu is styled a saint ("Sancte Ælfgife") in the D-text of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" (mid-11th century) at the point where it specifies Eadwig's and Edgar's royal parentage.Her cult may have been fostered and used to enhance the status of the royal lineage, more narrowly that of her descendants.
