Frithugyth

Frithugyth (floruit 737) was the wife of King Æthelheard of Wessex (died 740).

Frithugyth married Æthelheard at some point in 729 or before for she is identified as "Queen Frithugyth" in Æthelheard's charter dated 729. Like her predecessor as Queen of Wessex, Æthelburg, wife of Ine of Wessex, Frithugyth is recorded in surviving charters, not merely witnessing her husband's donations of land to the church, but also making donations in her own right. Although the reliability of many of these charters is questionable, historian Barbara Yorke notes that "Queen Frithugyth would be an unlikely choice as donor in a completely fictitious" charter.
