Byrhtnoth : ウィキペディア英語版
Byrhtnoth

Byrhtnoth was Ealdorman of Essex who died 10 August 991 at the Battle of Maldon. His name is composed of Old English ''beorht'' (bright) and ''noth'' (courage). He is the subject of an ancient poem, and more recently a statue.
==Death in battle==

His death, while leading the Anglo-Saxon forces against the Vikings in 991, is the subject of the famous Old English poem ''Battle of Maldon (poem)''. As presented there, his decision to allow the Vikings to move to a better position was heroic but fatal, though this may not represent reality. He was said to stand well over six foot in height, and was around the age of sixty years at the Battle of Maldon, with "swan-white hair". Although it is believed that he fell early in the battle, some say that it took three men to kill him, one of them almost severing Byrhtnoth's arm in the process. He had previously had several military successes, presumably also against Viking raiders.
