About this deal

For example, most of profiles show Morcar of Northumbria as his father but, he was born in 0960, as family search org. doing so, states at the same time that Eadric had died in 0946/47. Most people of Anglo-Saxon England still could not read Old English, much less Latin—not even all the monks. So it is even more remarkable that Athelward presumed to write a Latin chronicle. A strong influence on Aethelward was his friend Abbot Aelfric of Eynsham (not to be confused with Ealdorman Alfric of Mercia). Abbot Aelfric came from the Benedictine school of thought, and his own abbeys reflected this. He is said to have taken part in the teachings at his abbey, and to have done a few tasks at Lord Athelward’s request, such as translating parts of the Old Testament and giving him a manuscript of the Catholic Homilies. Another powerful device in this book is the use of secrecy and changing POVs. Without giving too much away that might spoil future readers, the personas that Eadric and Aydith assume when they are away from one another is truly fascinating and almost relatable at a modern, if simplified, level. Streona is beheaded by King Canute to avoid the possibility of a future betrayal, since Streona betrayed Edmund.

Various branches of the Weld family of England traditionally claim descent from Eadric, including the Welds of the United States and the extinct line of Weld-Blundells. [14] Lingard, John.

The boy fixed Eadric with an awe-like stare. Then he got up and ran off, his mantle streaming behind him.He campaigned in Maine for King William in 1072 and according to the Mortimer genealogy held Wigmore Castle against Ranulph de Mortimer during the rebellion of 1075.

Accompanying his new liege Cnut, Eadric went on a campaign of plundering throughout England until in the summer of 1016, when a series of major battles were fought with Edmund Ironside, the successor of the deceased king Æthelred. The decisive battle was fought at Assandun on 18 October 1016. Eadric by that time had returned to his brother-in-law's side, but he fled the field with his men for uncertain reasons, though it was possibly pre-planned. After peace was made between Cnut and Edmund, Eadric was allowed to remain earl, however after a year Cnut had Eadric killed at London during the Christmas festivities in 1017. Williams, Ann (2004).

Accessed 25 June 2009 In later folklore Eadric is mentioned in connection with the Wild Hunt, and in the tale of Wild Eadric. [13]

Don’t think on it so much. The king does what he must to protect and feed us; I am sure your father is the same. And if he isn’t … then to hell with him!”

It is the Latin of men with little grasp of, and no feeling for, the Latin language. Its style was achieved by never using one word where two could be made to do, preferably of obscure origin and infrequent usage. But Aethelweard can make himself understood. The influence on him of Aelfric, and behind him Abbo, is quite clear.” The early 12th-century historian John of Worcester writes that Eadric the Wild was a son of one Ælfric, whom he identifies as a brother of Eadric Streona, ealdorman of Mercia under King Æthelred the Unready. [4] While five of Eadric Streona's brothers appear to attest witness-lists of King Æthelred's charters, no Ælfric makes a plausible candidate for identification with a brother of the ealdorman. [4] It is possible that Ælfric was not a brother but a nephew of the ealdorman. [5] If so, Eadric (the Wild) would belong to the same generation as his cousin Siward son of Æthelgar, who was himself a grandson of Eadric Streona. [5] Lacey, Robert and Danny Danzinger. The Year 1000 : What Life Was Like at the Turn of the First Millennium. Little, Brown and Company, 1999. Print. At some time before 1009 Eadric married Eadgyth (Edith), the daughter of King Æthelred. This was a political marriage, intended to strengthen alliances. Although instrumental in serving Æthelred for many years, Eadric ultimately ended up changing his allegiance several times, and betraying his wife's family. There is no record of Eadric and Eadgyth having any children, though it has been suggested that they had a daughter who was mother of Siward 'Grossus', a rich thegn of Shropshire. [2] Eadgyth was likely Eadric's second wife, for according to Henry of Huntingdon, the son of Eadric Streona was responsible for murdering King Edmund "Ironsides". This son, if he existed, would have been born prior to Eadric's marriage to Eadgyth, for any child of Eadgyth would have been too young to encompass murder in 1016 when King Edmund died.

[3] Other members of Eadric's family seem to have been present at court in some strength in 1004–5; there are no lists in which Eadric appears in 1006, but Eadric was reported in that year for being involved in the killing of Ealdorman Ælfhelm: In 1015, there was a council held in Oxford, to which Eadric invited the brothers Sigeferth and Morcar, who were two thegns from the Seven Burhs in the East Midlands. Unfortunately for them, Eadric had them killed – possibly due to their collaboration with the Danes. This enabled Prince Edmund to confiscate their lands. [9] Return of the Danes [ edit ]
