語源

Learned borrowing from 古期英語 bretwalda.

アナグラム

  • tableward

別の表記

  • brȳtenwalda, brȳtenwealda, brētenānwealda

語源

First attested in the 9th century, but applied to kings who ruled from the 5th century onward. From an adjective brytten (wide) and walda (ruler, wielder).

The original meaning of the title is thus "wide-ruler", but it was reinterpreted, likely at an early period predating its 9th-century attestation, as containing the name Britain and understood in the sense of "ruler of Britain". The title rex Britanniae "king of Britain" is used by Æthelbald of Mercia in 736, who at the same time is also recorded as a bretwalda.

Bretwalda, also brytenwalda and bretenanwealda, is an Old English word, the first record of which comes from the late 9th century Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is applied in the Chronicle to some of the rulers of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms from the fifth century onwards who had achieved overlordship of some or all of the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It is unclear whether the word dates back to the fifth century, and was used by the kings themselves, or whether it is a later, ninth-century invention.
