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.
