Deogol

Anglo-Saxon Man 1: "I heard he was captured by Danes, and they ate his heart."

Anglo-Saxon Man 2: "Ealdorman Deogol got blind drunk and likely staggered off the white cliffs."

—Two Anglo-Saxons discussing the former ealdorman and the circumstance of his death, c. 874.

Deogol (died c. 874) was the ealdorman of Cent in the Kingdom of Wessex during the late 9th century.

Following his passing, disputed as a result of either the Danes murdering him or simply falling off the Dover Cliffs while drunk, King Alfred nominated several thegns to succeed Deogol as the next ealdorman of the shire, with thegn Tedmund ultimately chosen as the replacement.
