WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

[edit] Images

Are any coins minted by Aethelfrith known? Or a later depiction? This article is well written and referenced and quite close to GA status. IMHO, the biggest thing missing is an appropirate image and/or a map. Eluchil404 20:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

We have a map that would suffice, I suppose. It tries to locate and distinguish the various Anglo-Saxon peoples and groupings around 600. Everyking 07:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gododdin

In Rosemary Sutcliff's book The Shining Company, she assumes that Ælfrith was the opponent of the Gododdin in the battle of Catraeth. Is there any evidence for this, and if so, shouldn't it be mentioned? --71.126.180.229 16:31, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I've added a note and a reference to a secondary source, but I don't know what the argument for making the identification is, so that could still be added. Mike Christie (talk) 13:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
