A dynastic connection between Flanders and England had been established in the ninth century. Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald, became England's first consecrated queen in 856 on her marriage to Aethelwulf, King of the West Saxons.

Certainly not much left. As you say very sad. At least Gloucester Abbey church survived to become a new cathedral.
