Archivessome Saxon names... appearently
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.

Short form of Germanic names containing the element wald which means "rule". Ralph Waldo Emerson was a 19th-century
