	Aethelweard - LoveToKnow 1911
		AETHELWEARD (Ethelward), Anglo-Saxon historian, was the great-grandson of Ethelred, the brother of Alfred, and ealdorman or earl of the western provinces (i.e.
		He first signs as dux or ealdorman in 973, and continues to sign until 998, about which time his death must have taken place.

	Aelfric
		Aelfric no doubt gained some reputation as a scholar at Winchester, for when, in 987, the abbey of Cernel (Cerne Abbas, Dorset) was finished, he was sent by Bishop Aelfheah (Alphege), Aethelwold's successor, at the request of the chief benefactor of the abbey, the ealdorman Aethelmaer, to teach the Benedictine monks there.
		Aethelmaer and his father Aethelweard were both enlightened patrons of learning, and became Aelfric's faithful friends.
		By the wish of Aethelweard he also began a paraphrase of parts of the Old Testament, but under protest, for the stories related in it were not, he thought, suitable for simple minds.

		AEthelweard lived and wrote at a time when the threat posed by the first Viking Age had subsided.
		Pride in the English people and nation was on the ascendant as the kings of the West Saxon royal line consolidated their status as rulers of a united England with quasi-imperial ambitions.
		To cite one example of this bias, the Viking invaders who harried the land during the reign of King Alfred are not characterized simply as a here "raiding band, army," as they are often called in the anonymous annals of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle that relate to those years.

	[No title]
		It is possible that Aethelweard wished to correct an earlier mistake or that for whatever reason the date of 789 was inconvenient to his own chronology of events.
		Aethelweard’s writings give us the name of the murdered Reeve, Beaduheard, and tell us that he was the “King’s reeve” at the town of Dorchester.
		Aethelweard’s account does claim that Beaduheard was under the impression that these ships were “merchants rather than marauders” and even if we do not wholly believe Magnusson’s interpretation of events it makes sense that the ‘Vikings’ had, on this occasion at least, some kind of provocation.

		The accolyte, named Tatyana, told them that the old ruins of the city were shaped like an arcane rune, but neither she nor the men she had followed knew what it meant.
		Aethelweard and his cronies tried to defend themselves, but the match was made somewhat even by the trickiness of the party.
		The berzerking dwarf that Aethelweard had brought along found his head alone buried beneath a large rock, courtesy of Sam.

		In second half action, Alyce and Cathwin of Scales made a strong attack on the goal, but Cormac was able to make the save and quickly get the ball to forward Aethelweard, who penetrated the Scales defenders and beat goalie Loring for the first score of the game.
		In the final minutes, Scales was on the attack again when Covenant defender Kaherdin made an impressive steal, passing the ball to the offense.
		Aethelweard approached the goal and decoyed Loring out of position with a deft feint.

	Matheliende Volume 4, Number 1
		The final source, AEthelweard's Chronicle (written at the end of the tenth century), offers another perspective on the place of Scef as the founder of the Germanic peoples.
		Scef is of great prominence, for, as AEthelweard and the other chroniclers indicate, he is the most ancient strictly Germanic ancestor.
		In AEthelweard's account, the fertility figure Scef came with tools of war; in a sense, success in agriculture had brought war.

		These homilies, also, are introduced by two prefaces, one in Latin explaining the origin and occasion of the work, while the other is an English letter addressed to the ealdorman Aethelweard, the father of the founder of Cerne abbey.
		For Aelfric had now spent the best years of his life in the service of the church and education, bringing nearer to his people the truths and sources of their religion and morality.
		In the prefatory letter, which he addressed to Aethelweard, he reminds his friend how he had said that he need not labour any further in the book of Genesis than the story of Isaac, since another had translated it from that point to the end.

	THE CONVERSION OF THE PAGAN ANGLOSAXON KINGS: medievalhistory.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The ninth century AngloSaxon Chronicle and the tenth century Anales Cambraie and Chronicle of Aethelweard confirmed, and even used, earlier sources such as the eighth century historians, St. Bede of Jarrow and Nennius of Bangor.
		Prior to the establishment of Lindisfarne Abbey in Northumberland, however, the arrival of Augustine the Benedictine missionary in 596-7 A.D. began the re-conversion of the conquered territories.
		It is not credible to suppose that these pagan warriors made much in the way of a conversion to the gentle gospel of the sermon on the mount, especially as conceived by Abbot Anthony of Egypt, the champion of poverty and humility.

		Marcus just as quickly passed across to Aethelweard, who took two steps and booted an arcing shot to the far side of the field.
		He fired the ball at the far corner of the net just before he was thrown to the ground by the late-arriving Trow defender.
		The Trow goalie reached out to catch the ball, but just before it arrived Aethelweard leapt in from the side and deflected the shot to the other side of the goal with his head.

		By the early middle ages, the local traditions of the late roman iron age had evolved into the religious traditions which we now associate with the viking people of the Baltic.
		The 10th century english chronicler, Aethelweard, says of Woden, the ancestor of the anglo-saxon kings, that "the unbelieving northerners (vikings) are overwhelmed by such great temptation that they worship him as a god even today."
		So, the memory of Woden had evolved from that of ancestral chieftain, as held by the english, to that of a founding god in the norse pantheon of creation myth.

		In the Viking period, the chronicler Aethelweard reports that the most important town in Angeln was Hedeby.
		In subsequent history, Angeln's history is subsumed in that of the larger surrounding region, which came to be known as Southern Jutland or Schleswig (Danish: Slesvig).
