Hello all,
This is possibly a futile question, but has anyone come across 'edric', 'edrich', or 'eadric', or similar, to refer to the kingdom of the English?
The context is a rather puzzling annal for AD 1086. "Willelmus rex obiit . cui successit edrich frater et ipse Willelmus."
BTW I do know about 'Eadric' as a personal name.
Thanks for any help,
Henry G-C
