        The more transliterative version is so robust, though: Alfred had me bewrought.

        always found the words intriguing. Today, we'd write commissioned by Alfred. Odd point of view on original, or was that common then ?

        My understanding is that great pieces of smithing, whether swords or gold, were considered to have individual characters & voices. 1/2

        Replying to @VinaigretteGirl @StuartDalgleish and

        Smiths were kin to fey folk & great powers. Their swords could sing. Their jewels spoke of weddings, powers, liminalities.

        In that context it makes sense. A lot of food for thought there, and, another route into understanding pre and early medieval mind. Cheers
