Okay, let me tell you about my recent deep dive into this guy named Edwin Lewis. I stumbled upon this name while browsing some old history stuff, and I got curious. So, I started digging around, you know, just trying to figure out who this fella was.
First off, I learned that this Edwin guy was some kind of big shot, like a king or something, back in the old Anglo-Saxon days. He was apparently one of the “Bretwaldas,” which sounds super important, like a “High King” title. Not something you just inherit, apparently.
- I started with the basics, who is Edwin Lewis?
- Then I got into the details, his role as a “Bretwalda.”
I kept digging, reading through a bunch of online history articles. I found out about some other dude named Paulinus, who seemed to be connected to Edwin. It was like a historical buddy system, these two.
I found this huge, detailed book about Lewis’s life and work. I mean, this thing was massive! The first part was all about his life, like a biography. It was pretty interesting, though I skimmed some parts because, well, it was a lot.
There was also something about a connection to the Cross, which I guess was a big deal back then. I didn’t fully understand it all, but I tried to figure out the main points.
I also noticed the name “Edward Lewis” popping up. Turns out, that’s another guy, a magazine publisher and entrepreneur from the Bronx. Born in 1940, did an interview in 2014. Different dude, but the similar name got me confused for a sec.
So, yeah, that was my little adventure into the world of Edwin Lewis. I went from knowing nothing to getting a decent overview of his life and the times he lived in. It was like piecing together a puzzle, one article at a time.
Main takeaways
- Edwin Lewis was a big deal in Anglo-Saxon times.
- He wasn’t just any king; he was a “Bretwalda.”
- Paulinus was somehow linked to him.
- There’s a whole book dedicated to his life.
- Don’t confuse him with Edward Lewis, the magazine guy.
It was a fun little research project. I learned some history, got to explore some old texts, and even got a bit sidetracked with a modern-day Edward Lewis. All in all, a good use of my time, I’d say.
