Ælfric Cild

Ælfric Cild

Ælfric Cild (literally 'Child', but probably meaning something like 'pure' or 'innocent') was a late tenth century Anglo-Saxon ealdorman from Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire. He may have been the same Ælfric who was Ealdorman of Mercia 983-1016, and was killed at the Battle of Ashingdon against the Danes.
