I am no expert at all, so could someone check if the last line is correct? It states that Edith was the only senior member of the Godwine family to survive the Norman Conquest, but didn't her brother Wulfnoth live until 1091? Thanks, 82.16.0.232 (talk) 11:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm no expert either, but it appears that Wulfnoth remained a captive in Normandy, so Edith was the only senior member of the Godwin family to survive the Norman Conquest on English soil. I edited the entry to clarify this. I also standardized the spelling of the family name to "Godwin" throughout. The article on Edith's father identifies the various spellings of the Godwin family name; this article will look cleaner if we use just one spelling. Drfryer (talk) 05:43, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Place and cause of death
Where did she die, and what was the cause of death? At present the stub gives only the date of death. Norvo (talk) 00:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- See my recent edit. Cavila (talk) 12:29, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Date of marriage
The article states that she "was Queen of England from her marriage to Edward the Confessor in 1045" but also that she "married Edward on 23 January 1043.[1] But ODNB actually says "she was married to Edward (d. 1066) on 23 January 1045". I will amend the article accordingly.Alekksandr (talk) 14:49, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Bias
Is it really necessary to say that the Vita is 'inevitably biased'? Surely that's a truism? Katiehawks (talk) 17:14, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Agreed! It would be worth noting the nature and ideally an example or instance of bias, but otherwise this feels redundant. (Everything is "biased".) Gabrielbodard (talk) 09:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
