I don't want to copy these images into my post because I can't find the linking page, so I don't know if Prof. Keynes wants credit, doesn't want the images reused, or what. I just decided to look for this manuscript page today, and Google Image turned up the lovely image of the page and the detail. It's the Liber Vitae of New Minster and Hyde (London, British Library MS Stowe 944 fol. 6r). The pictures are in Simon D. Keynes's domain, but I can't find a direct link to them. I hope he doesn't mind if I just link directly to them.
The header says "Emma&Cnut" for one of them, but "Emma" was the Norman name of Cnut's queen. Her Old English name, the one used in the text around her figure on the left-hand side of the page, is Aelfgyfu (the 'Ae' or 'Æ' appears as an A with a funny top, and the y has a dot over it). So here's Ælfgyfu Regina--queen Aelfgyfu.
