mythologyandhistory, Did you know that an #AngloSaxon #queen did what many #longevity doctors suggest?
Æþelðryþe, daughter of #King Anna, was married twice & twice bargained with her husbands to remain chaste.
She managed to become a #nun & the picture of healthy living. She ate only one meal a day & bathed only cold. She did make exceptions for both on holidays.
When she got a swelling on her neck, she laughed that it was punishment for wearing too many necklaces in her youth.
