Talk:Ælfric Cild

Possible overlap
Of the Ælfrics with articles, ther seems to be a possible overlap with Ælfric of Hampshire. DNB 1900 said this, "[h]e was called ‘Child’ Ælfric", which means little I suppose, it later notes the folowing, "The name Ælfric was common at this period, and it is impossible to be sure about the identity of those who bore it."—Cygnis insignis (talk) 01:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC) noting Ælfric (fl.950?-1016?) (DNB00)


 * This diff from Ælfric of Hampshire separates the two. Cygnis insignis (talk) 20:03, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * The bit about the ealdorman feigning illness before the battle also belongs to the ealdorman of Hampshire. Unfortunately, the old DNB articles cannot be considered very reliable for Anglo-Saxon prosopography, which can be a bit of a minefield to be honest. I'll see if I can expand the article within the next few days. Cavila (talk) 20:27, 1 October 2010 (UTC)


 * sorry to butt in, death in 1016 is per list of List of monarchs of Mercia no reference, and was Ælfwine at or killed at Maldon? Accotink2  talk 17:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I really shouldn't make any more promises about deadlines here at Wikipedia, but the article has just been expanded. Cavila (talk) 14:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
