Talk:atheling

Rfv-sense "A title of respect used in the modern pagan faith of Heathenry." Presumably a non-gloss definition which should use. I'm not sure how one would look for citations; the only modern citation I can find of "my atheling" seems to be a reference to a prince and thus a use of the previous definition:
 * 2007, Cynthia Breeding, My Noble Knight, page 193:
 * “Can I count on you to be vigilant and not let me down?” “Yes, my atheling,” he answered with a slight tremor in his voice.

This is part of a batch of seemingly unnecessary but worded-so-as-to-seem-not-redundant senses I am cleaning up; I have no objection to deleting it more speedily that usual. - -sche (discuss) 05:53, 29 October 2012 (UTC)


 * A search for "paganism"+"atheling" finds nothing relevant, either on Google Books or (more surprisingly) Google Groups. Smurrayinchester (talk) 08:55, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
