From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goda of England (also spelled Godgifu) (1004–1055) was a Princess of England. She was the daughter of King Ethelred the Unready and his third wife Emma of Normandy, and sister of King Edward the Confessor. She married firstly Drogo of Mantes, count of the Véxin, and had a son by him: Ralph the Timid, earl of Hereford.

She married secondly Eustace II, count of Boulogne in 1025. This marriage was childless.

After the Norman Conquest of England by William the Conqueror, the lands owned by Goda in Buckinghamshire were divided and given to the Norman knights Bertram de Verdun, lord of Farnham Royal, and Raoul, count of Fougères.
