      W.H.Turton gives a speculative ancestry from Leofric I, Earl of Leicester,
      presumed g3grandfather of Leofwine - "The Plantagenet Ancestry"
      (Balt.:Gen.Pub.Co.,1968), p. 130. Leofwine was known as earldorman of the
      Hwiccas and in 1017 was Earl of Mercia. Another proposed ancestry shows
      Leofwine as son of Elfwina of Mercia (daughter of Edward I the Elder
      [ID1631] and Edgiva) and Edolf or Edulph (of Saxony?). Leofwine acceeded in
      1017.
