For anything like GA etc, you'd need to expand the lead a bit, per WP:LEAD I reckon a couple of paras would do the job.
Image captions that aren't complete sentences don't need full stops.
Although not mandated by most processes, it would be good to see alt text with the images.
"issue of Agatha's paternity" just "her" paternity would be fine.
"She came to England with her husband ..." as this is the main body, you at least rename the husband and possibly even expand upon his role.
Newcastle upon Tyne doesn't have hyphens.
"Simeon of Durham [2]" avoid spaces before references.
Before text like "thaes ceseres maga, filia germani imperatoris Henrici" I would be tempted to put "Latin:"
"to bear on the question" what question?
Forgive my ignorance but what is the relevance of the names on the family trees that appear in italics?
Giselle or Gisela, be consistent.
"As tempting as it may be to thus view .... " not really encyclopedic writing.
Last two paras of "Kievan theory" section are unreferenced.
Online refs need publisher info, access dates etc where possible.
I would split footnotes from references.
Page ranges need an en-dash, not a hyphen.
Foreign language references should specify which language they're in.
Be consistent, is it "pp" or "pp."?
