AN OLDER SOURCE FOR THE NAME 'EDLER': According to one book on King Arthur (Bernard Cornwell's, THE WINTER KING: St. Martin's Press, N.Y.: 1995), the word 'Edling' titled a 'Crown Prince' in the period in which King Arthur would have lived (A.D. early 400's). According to German dictionaries (e.g., Harper Collins: German Unabridged Dictionary, 1999), 'edle(r)' is derivative from the word 'edling', refering to a nobleman. Currently is said to reference a nobleman/woman, noble person, or lord/lady.
