Talk:Beornoth ætheling

Sources ?

The parentage cited here needs some sourcing. I am presuming that this person is Beornnoth 12 on PASE, an æthling who was active in 905, who was the father of Beorhtsige 7 (d. 901), about whom PASE says that Swanton (1996), The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, p. 94 n. 6, suggests that the name Beorhtnoth found in the C and D manuscripts may be more correct.

But there seems to be nothing there about his parentage, nor to connect him to Beorhtweald, nor indeed to connect him to Kent; and no charters (at least not on PASE) with his name.

So does anyone know where these claims come from? Perhaps some later history, assembled by one of the post-Conquest chroniclers, not on PASE? Or some later charter? Or an article by some historian? Or some historical novel?

For the moment I have added a {{dubious}} tag, until anyone can give some sourcing. Jheald (talk) 11:04, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

According to the ASC Beorhtnoth/Beornnoth's son Beorhtsige fell at the Battle of the Holme, fighting with the Danes of East Anglia on Æthelwold's side, against the men of Kent.

This appears to be the only mention of either of them in PASE. Jheald (talk) 11:17, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
