Talk:Pybba of Mercia

Name
Wouldn't the P in Pybba just be a very bad rendering of the Old english letter Wynn? Considering he's called Pybba/Pibba AND Wybba/Wibba... Then it sounds strange to me that the name with the 'P' is considered the official name...

Compare it to 'ye (olde English/shoppe)' which is just a really bad rendering of the letter th thorn — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.197.115.157 (talk) 17:32, 13 November 2011 (UTC)


 * This would not surprise me at all, but it could have gone the other way as well - an authentic P being misread as a Wynn, so what we need is a scholarly discussion of this question, from a secondary source. Agricolae (talk) 18:50, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Request for factual accuracy
I'd like to clean up this page and remove reference to Pybba being a historically referenced King. It's all nonsense as far as I can see. Paul Bedson ❉ talk ❉ 18:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
