Children of Pallig (Tokesen)?

On a page regarding the history of Headington, Oxfordshire
(http://www.headington.org.uk/history/fa ... helred.htm) it
is stated:

"Women as well as men were certainly massacred (Flor. Wig.), and
among them there is no reason to doubt Swend's sister, Gunhild, the
wife of the traitor Pallig, who was put to death after having seen
her husband and her son slain before her eyes (Gesta Regum, sec.
177)."

The list of sources given is:

Sources: Little can be added to Dr. Freeman's account of Æthelred in
his Norman Conquest, i. 285-417; Green's notices (Conquest of
England) are chiefly valuable when they bear on the intrigues of the
court, but some of his statements appear fanciful; Lappenberg's
Anglo-Saxon Kings, trans. Thorpe, ii. 150 sq.; Anglo-Saxon Chron.;
Florence of Worcester; William of Malmesbury, Gesta Regum; Kemble's
Codex Dipl. vol. iii. (all Engl. Hist. Soc.); Henry of Huntingdon,
Mon. Hist. Brit.; Adam of Bremen; Encomium Emmæ, both Rer. Germ.
Scriptt., Pertz; William of Jumièges, Duchesne; Parker's Early Hist.
of Oxford (Oxford Hist. Soc.); Vigfusson and Powell's Corpus Poet.
Boreale; Tryal of John Hambden, Esq., 1719; Stubbs's Constitutional
Hist.

Is the name of this son known? Did Gunhild and Pallig have any other
children that are known to have survived the massacre?

Regards,

Mike King.
