Ælfric Of Eynsham
Ælfric of Eynsham (; ; ) was an English abbot and a student of Æthelwold of Winchester, and a consummate, prolific writer in Old English of hagiography, homilies, biblical commentaries, and other genres. He is also known variously as ''Ælfric the Grammarian'' (''Alfricus Grammaticus''), ''Ælfric of Cerne'', and ''Ælfric the Homilist''. In the view of Peter Hunter Blair, he was "a man comparable both in the quantity of his writings and in the quality of his mind even with Bede himself." According to Claudio Leonardi, he "represented the highest pinnacle of Benedictine reform and Anglo-Saxon literature". Life and works Ælfric was educated in the Benedictine Old Minster at Winchester under Saint Æthelwold, who was bishop there from 963 to 984. Æthelwold had carried on the tradition of Dunstan in his government of the abbey of Abingdon, then in Berkshire, and at Winchester he continued his strenuous support for the English Benedictine Reform.

Ælfric Cild
Ælfric Cild ()Williams, "Ælfhere (''d''. 983)" was a wealthy Anglo-Saxon nobleman from the east Midlands, Ealdorman of Mercia between 983 and 985, and possibly brother-in-law to his predecessor Ælfhere. He was also associated with the monastic reformer Æthelwold, bishop of Winchester, he is also notable for being involved in a number of land transactions for the refounding and endowment of Peterborough Abbey, as well as with Thorney Abbey during the 970s and early 980s. Family connections It is thought that he married the daughter of Ealhhelm, ealdorman of central Mercia, and hence that he was brother-in-law to Ælfhere, ealdorman in Mercia between 956 and 983. Her name may have been Æthelflæd. Her brother Ælfheah, ealdorman in Wessex, left a will "probably drawn up in the late 960s" in which he bequeathed estates to Ælfwine, his "sister's son", who was probably Ælfric's son with her. This Ælfwine is also thought to be the warrior of this name who died fighting in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ælfric Puttoc
Ælfric Puttoc (died 22 January 1051) was Archbishop of York from 1023 to his death, and briefly Bishop of Worcester from 1040 to 1041. He may have crowned Harold Harefoot in 1036, and certainly assisted in that king's disinterment in 1040 and at the coronation of Edward the Confessor in 1043. He founded houses of canons and encouraged the cult of John of Beverley.

Ælfric Of Abingdon
Ælfric of Abingdon (died 16 November 1005) was a late 10th-century Archbishop of Canterbury. He previously held the offices of abbot of St Albans Abbey and Bishop of Ramsbury, as well as likely being the abbot of Abingdon Abbey. After his election to Canterbury, he continued to hold the bishopric of Ramsbury along with the archbishopric of Canterbury until his death in 1005. Ælfric may have altered the composition of Canterbury's cathedral chapter by changing the clergy serving in the cathedral from secular clergy to monks. In his will he left a ship to King Æthelred II of England as well as more ships to other legatees. Early life Ælfric was the son of an earl of KentBarlow ''English Church 1000–1066'' p. 125 footnote 3 and became a monk of Abingdon Abbey in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire).

Ælfric Modercope
__NOTOC__ Ælfric Modercope (; ), sometimes known as Alfric de Modercope in modern English and as Ælfric Wihtgarsson in the patronymic system, was an Anglo-Norse thegn from East Anglia. While ''Ælfric'' is an Old English name, his nickname ''Modercope'' or ''Modercoppe'' is Norse. This would exemplify the time when there were strong Anglo-Danish links, and three successive Danish kings had held the throne until Edward the Confessor succeeded in 1042. Ælfric had a strong connection at court, but his role and status are unusual: he was described as a ''comes famoses'' in a document from Bury St Edmunds. Ælfric was the son of Wihtgar and his son was also called Wihtgar. Ælfric was one of the wealthiest of the East Anglian thegns during this period, whose estate can be traced through the lands held by his son, Wihtgar, that were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. His wealth and reputation derived from his connections with Emma of Normandy (d. 1052), wife of King Cnut a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ælfric Of Hampshire
Ælfric was Ealdorman of Hampshire from to 1016. Ælfric succeeded ealdorman Æthelmær to the county of Hampshire Hampshire (, ; abbreviated to Hants.) is a Ceremonial counties of England, ceremonial county in South East England. It is bordered by Berkshire to the north, Surrey and West Sussex to the east, the Isle of Wight across the Solent to the south, ... and possibly Wiltshire in about 982. Ælfric was among the leading advisers of King Æthelred and was described by the '' Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' as 'one of those in whom the king trusted most'; this is perhaps seen in 991 when, along with Æthelweard and Sigeric, he advised the king to pay the Danes for peace, which he did. Though one of the king's most trusted men, Ælfric in 992 defected to a Danish fleet that he was supposed to attack. Though his defecting ship was captured, he escaped. However, his family suffered for this act, as Æthelred had his son Ælfgar blinded the year after (993). Ælfric was at some ...

Ælfric Bata
Ælfric Bata () was a monk and a disciple of Ælfric of Eynsham at Winchester some time before 1005. The epithet ''Bata'' is unclear; the formerly accepted interpretation "the bat" has been rejected, and Tengvik suggests it means 'stout'. From the Oxford MS of Ælfric of Eynsham's ''Colloquium'' (St John's College, Oxford 154) it appears that Ælfric Bata added something to this work composed by his master, and, as the ''Grammar and Glossary'' of Grammaticus are combined in that manuscript with the ''Colloquium'', it is likely that Bata edited the whole collection. It has been supposed that some of the writings attributed to the master were the work of the disciple. Bata's original writings are preserved in that Oxford MS: a set of conversations ("colloquies"), designed to teach communication skills in Latin Latin ( or ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic languages, Italic branch of the Indo-European languages.
