Goneril (died 870s) was the eldest daughter of Lerion, an East Anglian ealdorman who plotted to kill the Mercian king Burgred. The plot was foiled by King Edmund of East Anglia before it had hatched, leading to Lerion's arrest and execution for treason. Goneril and her sisters, fearing they would suffer their father's fate or worse, fled into the fens of East Anglia and disappeared.[1]

In the 870s, the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir fought and killed Goneril while exploring England, claiming her dagger.[2]
