Information
has glosseng: Hrêðe (Old English, possibly meaning "the famous" or "the victorious" ) is a goddess in Anglo-Saxon paganism connected with the month Hrēdmōnath. Hrêðe is attested solely by Bede in his 8th century work De temporum ratione. While the name of the goddess appears in Bede's Latin manuscript as Rheda, it is reconstructed into Old English as Hrêðe and is sometimes modernly anglicized as Hretha, Hrethe, or Hrede. Hrēdmōnath is one of three events that refer to deities in the Anglo-Saxon calendar; the other two being Ēostur-monath and Mōdraniht.
