Etheldreda

Great name for the Abbess of Ely, c. 678 whom the C of E remembers today.

I must admit to smiling when I read in Saints on Earth: A biographical companion to Common Worship (Darch & Burns), 95:

Etheldreda, sometimes referred to as Audrey, was the daughter of Anna, a Christian King of the East Angles.


King Anna? I bet he had a hard time in the playground!
