Sigewulf?

[edit]

The father of Eadgifu was called Sigehelm, not Sigewulf. After checking, there were two distinct ealdormen with those names who were both killed in the Battle of the Holme. With their similar names, the confusion is easy to make. – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 14:41, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ælfgar for pointing that out. It was Sigewulf, not Eadgifu's father, who was the pincerna. I also see that I messed up the refs when rearranging the text, so I have corrected. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:07, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I have finished translating your article into French, using Alban Gautier's expression of "officiers de bouche" for the title. I will try and check his book Le festin dans l'Angleterre anglo-saxonne, maybe I can find some interesting pieces of information to add there. – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 13:55, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. I am flattered that you consider the article worthy of translation. Unfortunately, I am useless at foreign languages. Dudley Miles (talk)
Ælfgar Alban Gautier kindly reviewed the article and corrected a couple of mistakes. I am sure he would be interested to know that you have translated it. Dudley Miles (talk) 13:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dudley Miles: I would not dare to contact a specialist about an article I worked upon, I would just feel so... inadequate! But you can let him know there is a French version of the article if you like. – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 08:37, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
