Stories and Folklore<p>22nd April, Today we commemorate the last British <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pagan</span></a> King, and last king of the <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/IsleOfWight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IsleOfWight</span></a> Arwald.</p><p>On this day in 686, Cædwalla, King of Wessex invaded the <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Jutish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jutish</span></a> kingdom of Wihtwara, the land of Whit [ ᚹᛁᚻᛏ ] (Spirits / Supernatural Beings).</p><p>Arwald had sent his two son to his kinsfolk, the Meonwara to keep them safe.</p><p>Due to their superior size, the army of Cædwalla were victorious. However, not without many casualties. <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Folklore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Folklore</span></a> says that Arwald dealt Cædwalla a near fatal wound that never healed and would ultimately take his life many years later. The story says, that the last curse, uttered using the last of the old magic was from Arwald's lips as he struck Cædwalla.</p><p>After the battle, Cædwalla sent his men the commit genocide on the island. A memory that still runs deep on the Island, even to this day.</p><p>The two princes were also betrayed after they had been forced to convert to <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/christianity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>christianity</span></a> -- Cædwalla had them killed.</p><p>This is not the of the story, the sister of Arwald was the wife of the King of <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Kent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kent</span></a> and was the great great great Grandmother of <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AlfredTheGreat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlfredTheGreat</span></a>.

Stories and Folklore<p>It is <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Tuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tuesday</span></a> -- We get the name from the old <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Jutish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Jutish</span></a> / <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/AngloSaxon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AngloSaxon</span></a> god "Tíw [ ᛏᛁᚹ ]" -- Tíwesdæg [ ᛏᛁᚹᛖᛋᛞᚫᚷ ] . </p><p>There is little written about this God and even his name gives us little to go by. Some people think it is from the photo-germanic that means simply "god".</p><p>Tíw is often represented simply by the <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/rune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rune</span></a> ᛏ or Tir (which means "glory"), which itself is cognate of the Nordic / Icelandic "Týr". Týr (the god) and Tíw are most certainly the one and the same God.</p><p>This brings us to the <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/OldEnglish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OldEnglish</span></a> Rune <a href="https://thefolklore.cafe/tags/Poem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poem</span></a> and here is the section on "Tír"</p><p>Tír biþ tána sum healdeþ tréowa wel,<br>wiþ æþelingas á biþ on færelde,<br>ofer nihta genipu, næfre swíceþ.</p><p>Translation:</p><p>Tír is the token of the strongest loyalty pledged<br>to princes and it always hold's it course<br>And never betray them, even over the clouds of night.</p><p>Also, in Kent a 7th century spear blade and sword pommels have been found with the rune "ᛏ" stamped or engraved upon them.</p><p>So what does this tell us? Some will say the God of War, but I think that is too simplistic.</p><p>If we put the limited references together, with a little supposition: Tír is the God of loyalty and glory, the doer of great deeds. More than likely one who is invoked in battle, to help guide their swords and spears.
