| has gloss | eng: Natanleod, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, was a king of the Britons. It is considered unlikely that any such person existed. His inclusion in the Chronicle is believed to be the product of folk etymology. the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reports that Cerdic and Cynric "killed a certain British king named Natanleod, and 5 thousand men with him – after whom the land as far as Cerdics ford was named Natanleaga". Cerdics ford is identified with Charford in modern Hampshire, and Natanleaga with a marshy area, Netley Marsh, close to the town of Totton in Hampshire. |
