Freeman states that "Gunnilla filia comitis Godwini" is named in Domesday[586]. There is no indication where Gunhild may fit in the order of Godwin´s children. Having taken a vow of chastity, she went to Saint-Omer in Flanders after 1066, then Bruges before moving to Denmark. She returned to Bruges before she died Per Foundation for Medieval Genealogy
