ÆTHELFLEDA. Variant
of Anglo-Saxon Aethelfled
(q.v.), meaning "noble increase." (A History of Christian Names,
Yonge, 1884)
... Shortly after Duke
Aethelred died, leaving only a daughter to carry on his line. At the
moment his decease made little difference, for his widow Aethelfleda
took up the reigns of government without opposition, and for nearly
eight years (912-919) led the Mercian forces with a skill and energy
which few women rulers have ever equalled. (The Cambridge Medieval
History: Germany & the Western Empire, Bury, 1922)
