Leofric, earl of Mercia (d. 1057). Leofric rose to power in the reign of
Cnut, as one of three great earls involved in governing England. In 1051, when Godwine defied Edward the Confessor, Leofric and Siward supported the king with matching strength. A number of foundations were enriched by his gifts, not least the monastery and church he built with his famous wife Godgifu (
Godiva).
