- Ælfthryth is a saint, venerated in the Roman Catholic Church, as a virgin, and recluse, died c. 795. She was a daughter of King Offa of Mercia. According to a late and not very trustworthy legend she was betrothed to Saint Æthelberht, but when he came to the court of Offa to claim her, he was treacherously murdered by the contrivance of Cynethryth, Offa's queen. After this Ælfthryth retired to the marshes of Crowland Abbey, where she was built into a cell and lived as a recluse to the end of her days. It is impossible not to suspect the existence of some confusion with Ælfleda, another daughter of Offa, whose husband was also murdered by treachery.
- Etheldrite, ou Etheldritha ou Alfride ou Alfrède ou Alfrédie ou Alfreda ou Æthelswith, une des quatre filles du roi Offa de Mercie, recluse à Croyland dans le Lincolnshire en Angleterre. Elle aurait servi d'appat involontaire pour l'assassinat du jeune roi Æthelberht II d'Est-Anglie, futur saint Ethelbert, par Offa; ce dernier mettant ainsi la main sur le royaume d'Est-Anglie. Entrée très jeune au couvent, elle y meurt vierge. C'est une sainte chrétienne fêtée le 2 août .
