an;

brýten-weald,
es;
m.
A
powerful
ruler
or
king;
præpotens
rex.
It
is
affirmed
[Kmbl.
Sax.
Eng.
ii.
21,
and
note
i]
that
the
true
meaning
of
brýten-walda,
compounded
of
walda
a
ruler,
and
the
adj.
brýten,
is
totally
unconnected
with
Brettas
or
Bretwalas,
the
name
of
the
British
aborigines;
for
brýten
is
derived
from
breótan
to
bruise,
break,
to
break
into
small
portions,
to
disperse;
and,
when
coupled
with
walda,
wealda
a
ruler,
king,
means
no
more
than
an
extensive
or
powerful
king,
a
king
whose
power
is
widely
extended.
Many
similar
compounds
are
found,
thus
in
Exon.

thinks
that
the
Bret-walda
[Hist,
of
A.
Sax.
bk.
iii.
ch.
5,
vol.
i.
pp.
318
and
378]
was
a
war-king,
elected
by
the
other
Anglo-Saxon
kings
and
their
nobility,
as
their
leader
in
the
time
of
war.
Lappenberg
[Th.
Lapbg.
i.
125-129]
takes
the
same
view;
while
Kemble
[Sax.
Eng.
ii.
8-21]
opposes
both
Turner
and
Lappenberg,
asserting
that
there
was
not
any
general
ruler
or
superior
war-king
elected
by
the
Anglo-Saxons,
and
that
even
Bret-walda
[q.
v.]
does
not
refer
to
the
Britons,
that
it
is
so
written
in
only
one
MS.
of
the
Chr.
while
each
of
the
five
others
has
the
word
brýten-,
and
therefore
the
word
ought
to
be
written
as
above,
brýten-walda.
