I had to replace my laptop a while ago, and thus make a new Liudulf. Liudulf thi Warde was how to spell it, right?

Raedwulf, how are you liking the no-blocking-spear change? Weren't you always going around shieldless using spears with both hands?
EDIT : I was thinking of Raedmund! Unless you're the same man?

Nah, there are two Raedas in the fyrnan folc, and I'm the one who seldom touches a spear, except for the occasional spearstab punching my chest...
But as you asked: the kung fu blocking with wooden shafts was a bit off, and so I'm glad it was changed.
However, guess we'll have to see if the total impossibility of blocking with a spear turns out to be too extreme.

Aye, the counsellor and wolf. Hope to see you more often in Vikingr.FrisianDude said:Oh, you're Raedwulf.

Right, sorry for the mistake.
As for the spear - and if this discussion is to continue it should probably be brought elsewhere - perhaps very low damage side swings might be a good inclusion, if only to symbolize the possibility of deflecting blows with a spear, through the use of chambers.

Wow, I found "Danik" in the old Russian name list.
few Slavic names of Viking age and later for Rus faction and spelling have prefix "-slav" (Borislav, Vladislav, Gorislav) ("-slaW"-this for West Slavic spelling), and "Yaro-" (Yaropolk, Yaroslav, Yaromir), and "Sviato/Svyato-" (Sviatopolk, Sviatoslav, Svyatogor), and "-polk", and "Miro-" (Miroslav, Miropolk).

Yeah, but I thought that I used that shortened form because else it wouldn't fit. But thanks, I'll change it later.

Hmm, Denegils is a tricky name. As far as I know it's only attested once, as the name of a mid-9th century abbot. Names using the name element gísl alternate between -gils, -gisl and even -gis in charters and the like, and the "standard" West Saxon form should have been *Denegísl, but -gils is much more common in proper names, not only in Latin charters but also in vernacular texts like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, so it would seem the form -gils with methatesis had become independent from gísl. Not sure about vowel length - I'd have expected -gíls with a long i, but the Bosworth-Toller dictionary has -gils with a short vowel.
So yeah, Denegils would be an authentic, if rather uncommon name. The adjective árcræftig would be declined in this context, so the full name would be: Denegils se Árcræftiga.

You could go as Catgualadr/Cadgualadr ("battle leader") or Catoc/Cadoc ("battle"), which are attested names that could have been in the list. The exact meaning of Mściwoj has no Brythonic equivalents that I can find, although an approximation might be something like *Catcun, which isn't attested as a personal name, but as a plural noun meaning "battle hounds". It would be parallel to the attested name Mailcun, modern Maelgwn, "princely hound".HUtH said:
