Eadburh (Old English: ), also spelled Eadburg, was the daughter of King Offa of Mercia and Queen Cynethryth. Married to King Beorhtric of Wessex, Asser's Life of Alfred the Great tells how she accidentally killed her husband by poison. Exiled in Francia, she is said to have been offered the chance of marrying Charlemagne, but ruined the opportunity. Instead she was appointed as the abbess of a royal Frankish monastery in Pavia. Here she is said to have lived openly with an English exile. As a result she was eventually expelled from the monastery and ended her days begging in the streets of Pavia.
