Asser names "Osburga…daughter of Oslac the famous butler of King Ęthelwulf…a Goth by nation" as the mother of King Alfred, specifying that her father was descended from "the Goths and Jutes…namely of Stuf and Whitgar two brothers…who…received possession of the Isle of Wight from their uncle King Cerdic". She is named as mother of King Alfred by Roger of Hoveden, who also names her father, specifying that he was "pincerna regis".
