Subject: some Saxon names... appearently
Author: Silver   (guest, 216.183.135.92)

According to the book "The writer's guide to everyday life in the middle ages: the british isles fro 500 -1500" by Sherrilyn Kenyon the names Bretwalda (m) means King, and the name Cwen (f) means Queen in Saxon.
Is there any validation to this?
I can't find anything anywhere else that even has these names?
Ty for your help.
For the record I find the name Bretwalda hiddeious and feminine...
Cwen is cute, but looks like somone forgot the lil stick on their G.
