Freeman states that "homo Alvevæ soror Heraldi comitis" is named in Domesday[589]. During the period of captivity of her brother Harold at the court of Guillaume II Duke of Normandy, Harold promised one of his sisters in marriage to one of Duke Guillaume's nobles[590], most probably Ælfgifue Unready (r. 968–1016), by whom she bore many offspring, including Edmund Ironside. It is most probable that she was a daughter of Thored, Earl of southern Northumbria.
