Angeltheow, also known as Angletheow, or Engengenthe, or Angenwit (... - circa 477), was ancestor of Anglo-Saxon king Creoda of Mercia (today's England) and Eomer's father. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, it came from God Woden and would have been of the same generation as Hengest and Horsa. His family line would include Winston Churchill and Louis XVII of France.
Someone has suggested that Angeltheow could be identified with the Swedish king Ongentheow, killed, as reported in Beowulf in the Ravenswood battle, although the sources place chronologically this battle after the traditional death date of Angeltheow. / p> Notemodify wikitesto Links externalize the wikitesto
