Emma of Normandy (c. 984 \endash 6 March 1052) was queen of England, Denmark and Norway through her marriages to Æthelred the Unready (1002\endash 1016) and Cnut the Great (1017\endash 1035). She was the daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy and Gunnor. After her husbands' deaths Emma remained in the public eye, and continued to participate actively in politics during the reigns of her sons by each husband, Edward the Confessor and Harthacnut. She is the central figure within the Encomium Emmae Reginae, a critical source for the history of early 11th-century English politics. As Catherine Karkov notes, Emma is one of the most visually represented early medieval queens.
Emma married Æthelred II (The Unready) OF WESSEX , King of England, son of Edgar "The Peaceful" OF WESSEX , King of the English and Ælfthryth (Alfrida, Elfrida) , of Devon, in 1002. (Æthelred II (The Unready) OF WESSEX , King of England was born about 966 and died on 23 Apr 1016 in London, England.)
