WULFRIC THE WEAPON THANE
A Story of the Danish Conquest of East Anglia
by
CHARLES W. WHISTLER
PREFACE.
A word may be needed with regard to the sources from which this
story of King Eadmund's armour bearer and weapon thane have been
drawn. For the actual presence of such a close attendant on the
king at his martyrdom on Nov. 20, 870 A.D. we have the authority of
St. Dunstan, who had the story from the lips of the witness
himself.
But as to the actual progress of events before the death of the
king, the records are vague and imperfect.
