The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle simply states that Ælfweard died soon after his father's death on 17 July 924 and that they were buried together at Winchester.
Jedino što tvrdi Anglosaska kronika u svezi s Aelfweardom jest da je umro vrlo brzo nakon očeve smrti koja je bila 17. srpnja 924. godine i to da su oboje pokopani u Winchesterskoj katedrali.
