Answer:
seaxburh -lrb- died c. 674 -rrb- was a queen of wessex .she is also called queen of the gewisse , an early name for the tribe which ruled wessex .she is said to have ruled wessex for about a year after the death of her husband , cenwalh , in 672 .it was extremely rare for a woman to rule in her own right in anglo-saxon england , and she was the only woman to appear in a regnal list .she may have ruled for over a year , as the next reign is entered in the '' anglo-saxon chronicle '' in 674 .however , bede said that after death of cenwalh '' sub-kings took upon themselves the government of the kingdom '' , so the chroniclers may have tidied up a complicated situation .she was succeeded in about 674 by scwine .
