This has created a connection with one of them.\"\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEadgyth was born in Wessex in 910 into one of the most powerful families in England. She was daughter of Edward the Elder, and half-sister to Athelstan, the first king of all England.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca name='more'\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIn 929 Athelstan sent her and her sister, Adiva, off to Otto and invited him to take his pick, sealing an alliance between two of the rising stars of the Saxon world. Eadgyth was chosen and the couple had at least two children before she died in 946.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChroniclers of the time paid tribute to her beauty and recorded how devoted Otto was to her. She was also praised for her good works.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EEadgyth was buried in a monastery, but her bones were moved several times before being interred in an elaborate tomb in Magdeburg Cathedral in Saxony-Anhalt in 1510.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt had been assumed that the bones had vanished and the tomb was empty, but in 2008 German archaeologists opened it and found it contained a lead box holding skeletal remains.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe challenge for the archaeologists was to show that the remains, which had been moved so often, and could easily have been substituted by others, were those of Eadgyth.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EA study of the bones at the University of Mainz confirmed that the remains belonged to a single female, who died between 30 and 40. One of the femur heads suggested the individual was a frequent horse rider, hinting at her nobility. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnalysis of the bones suggested she enjoyed a high-protein diet, including a large quantity of fish, which again suggested she was an aristocrat.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt proved impossible to extract DNA from the remains – and the problem then, anyway, would have been fbut finding a sample of a descendant to try to match them to.

But crucial scientific evidence came from the study of the teeth preserved in the upper jaw. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EA technique measuring the strontium and oxygen isotopes mineralised in the teeth as they are formed was used.
