[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
Executed by beheading.
In the Spring and Summer of 1075, the Earls of Norfolk and
Hereford were conspiring to seize England for themselves, and
they enticed Waltheof to join in. He quickly changed his mind,
and reconciled with the King, who treated the matter lightly,
but at Christmas 1075, Waltheof was brought to trial, his wife
(the King's niece) being a witness against him. When the trial
resumed in May Waltheof was found guilty and beheaded on St.
Giles's Hill (I suppose this is in Winchester, which is where
he was tried) on 31 May 1076.
Waltheof and Judith had no sons and two known daughters, (1)
Maud, who married first Simon de Saint Liz (Senlis) and second
David I King of Scots, and (2) Judith or Alice, who married
Ralph de Toni the younger. There may have been a third
daughter who married a Robert son of Richard, but this may be a
confusion with a daughter of Maud and Simon.
