Byrhtnoth Byrhtnoth ( " Byrhtnoþ " , also spelled " Byrhtnoð " , " Byrihtnoð " , " Brihtnoþ " , " Beorhtnoþ " , " Beorhtnoð " , " Baeorhtnoð " ) was a 10th - century Ealdorman of Essex . His name is composed of Old English " beorht " ( bright ) and " noth " ( courage ) . He died as the leader of the Anglo - Saxon forces in the Battle of Maldon against the Vikings in 991 , the subject of a famous Old English poem . As presented there , his decision to allow the Vikings to move to a better position was heroic but fatal , though this may not represent reality . He was said to stand well over six foot in height , and was around the age of sixty years at the Battle of Maldon , with " swan - white hair " . Although it is believed that he fell early in the battle , some say that it took three men to kill him , one of them almost severing Byrhtnoth ' s arm in the process . He had previously had several military successes , presumably also against Viking raiders . He was a patron of Ely Cathedral , giving them many villages ( Spaldwick , Trumpington , Rettenden , Hesberen . . . ) , and his body is buried there , alongside that of Archbishop Wulfstan the homilist . The " Liber Eliensis " records that his widow gave the Cathedral a tapestry or hanging celebrating his deeds , presumably in the style of the Bayeux Tapestry , the only surviving example of such a work . This was given immediately after his death , so had probably previously been hanging in his home . Byrhtnoth was married to Ælfflæd , sister of Dowager Queen Æthelflæd of Damerham , and thus a kinsman of King Edgar by marriage . Post - Norman Conquest material mentions a daughter of Byrhtnoth named Leofflæd . Recently , a statue created by John Doubleday has been placed at the end of the Maldon Promenade Walk , facing the battlesite of Northey Island and the Causeway . In Modern Literature . J . R . R . Tolkien ' s short play in verse , " The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth , Beorhthelm ' s Son " takes place on the battlefield of Maldon , dealing with the death of Byrhtnoth .

Deganwy Castle . Deganwy ' s most notable feature is Deganwy Castle , situated 110 m above the town , which , in the 6th century was fortified as the stronghold of Maelgwn Gwynedd , king of Gwynedd . Deganwy appears to have been the capital of Gwynedd at this time , but this was later moved to Aberffraw on Anglesey . The hill on which the castle was built was fortified many times over the centuries . It was the site of a Norman castle built around 1082 and occupied by Robert of Rhuddlan , and later by Llywelyn the Great and Llywelyn ap Gruffudd . The castle was later demolished by Edward I when Conwy Castle was built opposite so that only ruins remain today . Rail and sea .
