*Terry Booth posting to Gen-Med 25 AUg 2007 states : "While we can't prove her b. and m. dates, Domesday Book provides proof she d. aft 14 Oct 1066 Battle of Hastings. "[Nottingham Domesday], i, 249r (11-37) Robert of Stafford; Madeley (in Checkley). TRW Robert of Stafford holds a half hide in Madeley, and Wulfheah holds from him. Godgifu held it TRE. She even held it after the coming of King William into England, but she could not withdraw from her land." If the translation can be trusted, this proves she d. after Harold's death at Hastings. The statement also proves her ownership status was sharply reduced after the conquest (suggesting her lands had been confiscated). See [http://books.google.com/books?id=YpI9-3hPiYkC&pg=PA454&dq=godgifu+1066+domesday&sig=6xVYj7YZMsv1rzxKfyggzMQjFtg#PPA240,M1 link]"
