LEOFRIC. Anglo-Saxon
name meaning "dear ruler," from Old English leof "dear, valued,"
and rice "mighty, powerful, rich, wealthy." (A Handy Poetical Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, Baskervill,
1885)
... On such occasions the monks
were eager to relieve the wants of their countrymen; and whoever is
conversant with their writers, must have remarked the satisfaction with
which they recount the charitable exertions of their most celebrated
abbots. Among these, a distinguished place is due to Leofric,
the tenth abbot of St. Alban's... (The History and Antiquities of the
Anglo-Saxon Church, Lingard, 1858)
