For example, the king of Mercia in the second season before Aethelred and Aethelflaed were married (the old guy that died at the table) was Ceowulf. An actual historical character. We all know the famous tale of Beowulf. Ceowulf and Beowulf share a common etymology because both came from an area in what is probably modern day Schleswig Holstein which is the German state bordering Denmark.
