Edwy (Eadwig) was King of England. At his coronation at Kingston upon Thames, England, in January 956, he left the banquet with Æthelgifu and her daughter Elgiva (Ælfgifu) A marriage between Edwy and Elgiva would have been uncanonical. He was forced to return to the hall by Bishop Cynesige and Dunstan who was later exiled.
