 WUFFA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Bede asserts that Rædwald was the son of Tyttla, whose father was Wuffa, a quo reges Orientalium Anglorum Uuffingas appellant, 'from whom the kings of East Anglia are called Wuffings' (HE II, 15).
The bearer of the royal eponym Wuffa thus need not be regarded as the historical founder of the dynasty whose genealogical position came to be determined chronographically.
Rather, like the Kentish dynastic eponym, Oisc (Bede, HE II, 5), Wuffa may have been the East Anglian royal cognomen, the distinguishing family-name, the bearer of which is perhaps best understood as an emblematic figure personified from dynastic origin-myth.

 Essay on Havelok the Dane   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Mannyng’s implication that Havelok was well known through local landmarks and the tales “lowed men” has encouraged the view that Havelok’s “right story” had been so modified through oral transmission and folk tradition that it is now untraceable.
The view that Havelok the Dane was a popular tale has also prompted critics to resist the presence of topical references from the reigns of Edward I and Edward II in the story.
Instead, he suggests that the names and titles which may appear topical are merely intended to sound old and authentic.

 The Coinage of Britain - Anglo-Saxon Coins
Aethelred II (978-1016), known colloquially as the Unready (but in reality "redeless" meaning uncounselled), embarked on a policy of buying off the Danes with huge payments in silver, known as the Danegeld.
The first attack cost 10,000 pounds of silver, the next 36,000 and finally 48,000.
As a result of the Danegeld, the most commonly encountered Anglo Saxon pennies are the coins of Aethelred II and Cnut, during whose reigns a large number of mints were in operation throughout the country.
