  Osburh or Osburga (born c.810, died March 853) was the first wife of King ?thelwulf of Wessex and mother of Alfred the Great. Alfred's biographer, Asser, described her as "a most religious woman, noble in character and noble by birth". Osburh's existence is known only from Asser's Life of King Alfred. She is not named as witness to any charters, nor is her death reported in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is presumed, but nowhere recorded, that she was also the mother of Alfred's older brothers ?thelstan, ?thelbald, ?thelberht, ?thelred, and of his sister ?thelswith, wife of King Burgred of Mercia. Osburh presumably died before 856, when her husband married the Carolingian princess Judith. Osburh was the daughter of Oslac, King ?thelwulf's pincerna (butler), an important figure in the royal court and household. Oslac is described as a descendant of King Cerdic's Jutish nephews, Stuf and Wihtgar, who conquered the Isle of Wight. Oslac and his daughter Osburh are known to have held Arreton Manor on the Isle of Wight. This database researched and compiled by Norman Lee Madsen, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 21 July 2015.
