I consder it fortunate that old Ethelbald decided to get away from ''Ethel-something'' for his next son. ''Ethelthryth the Great'' or ''Ethelhead the Great'', don't have quite the noble ring of ''Alfred the Great''. What was it with Ethelwulf? Even his daughter was an ethel - ''Ethelfleda''.

Sorry. I woz wrong. ''Alfred's'' daughter was Ethelfleda. Ethelwulf's daughter was ''Ethelswith''. I was half right. And the premise still stands. [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 15:56, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
