Note 516 — Chapter XVI · SOCIETY IN THE HEROIC AGE.
Reading edition
Beow. 2618 f.:
no ymb ða faehðe spraec, þeah ðe he his broðor bearn abredwade.
Many scholars here understand ða faehðe to mean not the encounter between Eanmund and Weohstan, but the hostility (vendetta) which devolved upon Onela as Eanmund's kinsman; but I think the idea is rather that of 'bloodguiltiness' (towards Onela) incurred by Weohstan. Eanmund was the son of Ohthere, Onela's brother.
