  Marriage	13 Dec 862	Auxerre, Yonne, Bourgogne, Frankrike   [1]
  	Hun giftet seg med Balduin 1 av Flandern "Baldwin Jernarmen" (4561) cirka 863 på Auxerre, Yonne, Bourgogne, Frankrike. Judith hadde først vært gift med den engelske konge Ethelwulf som døde i 858, og deretter med dennes sønn fra første ekteskap, Ethelbald, død i 860. Baldiun bortførte henne i forståelse med hennes bror Ludvig "den stammende" og hennes fetter, kong Lothar 2. De dro til Roma og ba pave Nicolaus 1 om hjelp og fikk etter pavens forbønn hennes fars tilgivelse. Following her second husband king Æthelbald's death, Judith sold her properties in Wessex and returned to France. According to the Chronicle of St. Bertin, her father sent her to the Monastery at Senlis, where she would remain under his protection and royal episcopal guardianship, with all the honour due to a queen, until such time as, if she could not remain chaste, she might marry in the way the apostle said, that is suitably and legally. Around Christmas 861, Judith eloped with Baldwin, later Count of Flanders. The two were likely married at the monastery of Senlis at this time. The record of the incident in the Annals depicts Judith not as the passive victim of bride theft but as an active agent, eloping at the instigation of Baldwin and apparently with her brother Louis the Stammerer's consent. Unsurprisingly, Judith's father was furious and ordered his bishops to excommunicate the couple. They later fled to the court of Judith's cousin Lothair 2 of Lotharingia for protection, before going to Pope Nicholas 1 to plead their case. The Pope took diplomatic action and asked Judith's father to accept the union as legally binding and welcome the young couple into his circle, which ultimately he did. The couple then returned to France and were officially married at Auxerre in 863. [1]
