This article is about Æthelwold, who was the son of Alfred the Great's older brother, King Æthelred I. Æthelwold thus had a strong claim to the throne of Wessex. He rebelled after Alfred's death, but was killed at the Battle of the Holme. He has been described as "one of the 'Nearly Men' of early medieval Europe".

Support – I had my say at the A class review in June. I commented at the time that I thought the article was of FA quality, and rereading it I remain of that opinion. Top-notch prose, comprehensive as far as a layman can judge, balanced, well illustrated, and referenced to a good range of sources. Clearly meets the FA criteria in my view. –

Support seems an excellent article and covers far more about Æthelwold than I was aware we knew. All the best:

Support -- Recusing myself from coord duties here, like Tim I had my say (and tweaked some prose) at the A-Class Review. Having reviewed changes since then I'm happy to support for FA as well. Just one thing, I believe you're no longer citing Abels (2007) and Williams (1991a) -- which I noticed thanks to Ucucha's Harv error script -- so they should be removed from the reference list, or at least transferred to a Further Reading section.

Thanks very much to Ian and Graham. I have removed the sources no longer used. Dudley Miles ( talk) 10:50, 23 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Comment: I see this already has three supports, so I'll just note that I copyedited the article per my copyediting disclaimer two months ago, and I made one small change (ground -> grounds). These are my edits. One "restrictive which" has been added since June; I don't generally put up a fight over those, but someone else might. - Dank ( push to talk) 16:13, 23 August 2014 (UTC) reply
