Stories and FolkloreWho was Cuþræd? After Coenwulf defeated Eadberht III Præn (The last independent King of Kent) in 798, Cuþræd was established as a client king of <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Mercia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mercia</a>. His reign was short and relatively uneventful, but is now for two things: 1. The re-establishment of the primacy of the Archbishopric of Canterbury. However, this was more due to the Council of Clovesho abolishing the Archbishopric of <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Lichfield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lichfield</a>.2. The first <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Viking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Viking</a> raids in Kent, however, these were small, and it's not really known if Cuþræd really did anything to defend the Kingdom.Cuthred was one of three known sons of Cuthberht of Mercia, his brothers were Coenwulf (King of Mercia 796-821) and Ceolwulf (King of Mercia 821-823)<a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Histordons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histordons</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/medievodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#medievodons</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AngloSaxon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AngloSaxon</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AngloSaxonSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AngloSaxonSaturday</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Medieval" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medieval</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/anglosaxon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@anglosaxon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/medievodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@medievodons</a> A silver early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) penny of Cuthred (Cuþræd), King of <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Kent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kent</a>, c.798-807 AD, mint: <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Canterbury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canterbury</a>, moneyer: Duda.<a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/519562" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/519562</a>

Here is the transcript:me: can you give me an old English word that means sea foggpt: The Old English word for "sea fog" is "brume".me: No it isn't brume, brume is not an old English word. please try again, what is the old English for sea foggpt: I apologize for the mistake in my previous answer. The Old English word for "sea fog" is actually "hǣð" or "hǣðstybb".me: No, you are wrong "hǣð" means "heath" and "hǣðstybb" is not a real old English word. Please try again, what is the Old English for Sea Foggpt: I apologize for the confusion, and thank you for correcting me. The correct Old English word for sea fog is actually "sǣfog".me: That is closer, but still not right "sǣ" does indeed mean see, but "fog" is not an old English word. The old English for sea fog is "sǣmist"gpt: Thank you for the correction. You are right that "sǣmist" is the Old English word for sea fog.

We have to look at the word through the eyes of a storyteller; there is a literal definition, but also a metaphorical definition. The journey is also time, the travelling is our life moving forward. The evil are the wretched things that happen during this journey, those things that befall us that are out of our control.Bealosíþ is a concept, it is those times in our life that we must travel trough that is filled with evil and calamity. It can also describe the grim march to death, that lingering dark path.The state of bealosíþ is part of the wyrd and could be cause by entities, curses, gods, or those that just want to do us harm. It is those darkest of times that surround us all.<a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Histordons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histordons</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AngloSaxon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AngloSaxon</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Jutish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jutish</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Folkore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Folkore</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklore</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/languagelovers" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@languagelovers</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/anglosaxon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@anglosaxon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/oldenglish" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@oldenglish</a>

He came from the now renamed hamlet of Sceldeforde (Translates to Shield Ford).It is said the Hamlet changed it's name to Æthelwinefeld (Æthelwine's Field), which over-time became "Æthelfeld" and now Atherfield (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherfield" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherfield</a>)Æthelwine converted while in Kent after visiting the court of Æthelbert but was martyred during Eadbald's (Æthelbert's son and successor) pagan revival. Æthelwine condemned Eadbald's marriage to his step-mother. Eadbald was enraged and declared the saint a "féondulf" -- criminal/felon. Æthelwine, fearing for his life, fled back to the Island. However, he was betrayed to Eadbald by local pagan priest who heard of the bounty on Æthelwine's head. Eadbald sent someone to kill Æthelwine, who was murdered while crossing the ford in the middle of his home hamlet. They say that he'd been stabbed through the heart but was able to pray for the sins of those around him for an hour even though his heart had stopped beating; he forgave all involved before his death.The site was said to responsible for many miracles. <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Jutes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jutes</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Folklore</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/FolkloreThursday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FolkloreThursday</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/historians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historians</a> <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Histordons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Histordons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@histodons</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklore</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/folklorethursday" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@folklorethursday</a>

Justin Harty, PhD, MSWHi historians! I’m a social worker researcher studying the contributions of Black and Brown social workers and communities to social work and social welfare history. These histories are often absent in the scholarship, teaching, and training of social workers.
