—Mildrith to Uhtred about the death of their son
Mildrith of Liscumb (Mildrith of Oxton in the books) is a supporting character in both The Saxon Stories novel series, and The Last Kingdom television series. Mildrith was Uhtred's first wife.
The Saxon Stories
Mildrith is mentioned the first time in the novel "The Last Kingdom" when Uhtred serves on the Saxon ship "Heahengel". It is around the year 874 when she is 16 years old. Her age gives the men around Uhtred the reason to ponder why she is not married yet, and they consider her "ugly as a sow" because women usually married much earlier. To see her the first time, Uthred must meet Odda the Elder in Exanceaster. Mildrith's other suitor is Odda the Younger who is envious about Uhtred. As part of her dowry Mildrith brought with her a homestead in Oxton which bore an enormous debt because her father had pledged a substantial portion of his estate to the church which he had repeatedly been unable to pay. They had a son, named Uhtred after his father, but the child died young on January 22 in the year 878 (Saint Vincent's Day), after choking on a pebble. The elder Uhtred believes the death is supernaturally connected to the survival of Alfred's son Edward, who was healed by Iseult at the same time that the younger Uhtred choked. After young Uhtred's death, through grief Mildrith retreats further into her religious devotion, eventually joining a convent and taking residence in Lord Odda's household. Mildrith would meet Uthred one last time when he returned to Lord Odda's estate to assemble Wessex's army. There, the two finally severed all ties they'd once held.
•Mildrith is a native of the West Saxon shire (county) of Defnascir (Devon), which is close to the native British land of Cornwalum (modern Cornwall) to the west.
•Mildrith is the daughter of a thegn who was a vassal of Ealdorman Odda of Defnascir (Devon). Mildrith's father had fallen into severe debt with the church in Wessex, which Uhtred inherited by his marriage to Mildrith.
•The name Mildrith derives from the Anglo-Saxon name Mildþrȳð. The name is made of the words milde, which means "gentle", and þryð, which means "strength".
•Mildrith is a noble; she was born to the lord of Liscumb (Oxton in the books).
Saint Mildrith, also Mildthryth, Mildryth and Mildred, (Old English: Mildþrȳð) (born c. 660, died after 732), was a 7th- and 8th-century Anglo-Saxon abbess of the Abbey at Minster-in-Thanet, Kent. She was declared a saint after her death, and, in 1030, her remains were moved to Canterbury.
Milord ( French: [milɔʁ]) is a term for an Englishman, especially a noble, traveling in Continental Europe. The term was used in both French and English from the 16th century. It derives ultimately from the English phrase "my lord ", which was borrowed into Middle French as millourt or milor, meaning a noble or rich man. [1] History.
