Aelfwyn (died 870s) was an Anglo-Saxon nun and self-proclaimed saint who lived during the 9th century.
A devoted member of the church dedicated to Saint Edmund, Aelfwyn dedicated herself to eliminating any trespassing Vikings, considering them as pagan sinners who despoiled the sacred grounds. By the 870s, she based herself at a ruined church in East Anglia that was dedicated to Saint Edmund and had killed numerous Vikings who entered the church.[1]
When the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan entered the church, she met Aelfwyn who treated her as a trespasser too. Aelfwyn attacked Eivor, forcing her to defend herself and defeat Aelfwyn in battle.[1]
