Aethelflaed
Aethelflaed was the chieftess and highest-ranking member of the Dolomedes tribe until her death in 792. After her death, her eldest son Oswald became chief. However he had been married into the Belanos House of Larix .
Aethelflaed’s death marked the end of the Dolomedes as a single, unified tribe. The Dolomedes who stayed with her son in Ghealas became the Fen Dolomedes. Those who moved or remained in Aranea became known as the Braided River Dolomedes.
She was known for being sharp with little interest in smalltalk, and having a unique battlecry akin to a crane, and so she was known as Aethelflaed se Crano, Aethelflaed the Crane.
