Wynthryth

Wynthryth of March was an early medieval saint[1] of Anglo Saxon England.[2]

He is known to history from the Secgan Hagiography[3][4] and The Confraternity Book of St Gallen.[5][6] Very little is known of his life or career. However, he was associated with the town of March, Cambridgeshire,[7] and he may have been a relative of King Ethelstan.[8]
