SHEPHERD'S DAUGHTER, His mother, Ecgwina, was the daughter of a Saxon shepherd named Bercher, who lived in village in a Dorsetshire wood. She is described, says Dr. Finny. 328 having been a girl of tran- scendent beauty and of charming

manners.

Her marriage was secret, but when Athelstan was seven years old his grandfather, Alfred the 11 Great, publicly acknowledged 12 him as a boy of Royal rank, put purple robe on him, gave him a gold bolt adorned with jewels, and permitted him to wear a 23 sword.

Actually there is no contem- porary portrait of the King or hist mother known, the oldest pic- 80 tures being the quaint paintings in Milton Abbey, founded by Athelstan in A.D. 929... These paintings, which showed the King bearded, holding a model of the abbey, and his mother, hold- ing falcons on her wrist, were there in A.D, 1460,
