Loving these Anglo
Saxon names at the moment. I think
Leofric would be an interesting and unexpected way of getting
Leo as a nickname.
I loved
Aelfric for 25 years plus.
Ever since I first heard it in the tv series
Cadfael which is about a sleuthing monk and is set in the 12th century during the often forgotten civil war between
King Stephen and his cousin Empress
Matilda (
Maud). Matilda’s father was
King Henry 1 and
Matilda his only surviving child. Cousin
Stephen decided women should not be allowed to rule and
Matilda disagreed.
WDYT of
Aelfric and
Leofric?
Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from
