Alfred (Old English: Ælfrēd) (849? – 26 October 899) was king of the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex from 871 to 899. Alfred is famous for his defence of the kingdom against the Danes (Vikings), becoming as a result the only English monarch to be awarded the epithet "the Great" by his people. Alfred was the first King of Wessex to style himself "King of England". Details of his life are known as a result of a work by the Welsh scholar, Asser. A learned man, Alfred encouraged education and improved the kingdom's law system (Doom book).

"Hick" is widely agreed to be derived from a nickname for Richard --Middle English Hikke\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=hick\nhttp://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?sourceid=Mozilla-search&va=hick\n\nSimilarly, the Oxford English Dictionary says it was "by-form" of the personal name Richard (like Dick) and Hob (like Bob) for Robert.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hick\n\n"Hick" was actually just one of many examples of a trend of creating rhyming nicknames (arbitrarily changing the first letter).   Hick and Dick (appearing in wriring around 1220) were  at the beginning of a great 13th-14th century trend That's where we get all these surprising forms like Polly from Molly, Bob from Rob (from Robert), Bill from Will (from William); and Hodge from Roger.\nIncidentally, a variant on this is also preserved in the nursery rhyme "HICKORY, dickory, dock"!\nhttp://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mdick.html\n\nFor other forms of "letter swapping" to create nicknames, and a variety of other methods by which English nicknames developed see:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/edgarbook/names/other/nicknames.html\n\nThe derogatory use of "hick" apparently goes back to the beginning, or very near it.   In fact, it may have been specifically coined to mock countryfolk.\n\n"At the time "hick" arose as a derogatory term for a country bumpkin in England around 1565, "Richard" was considered (unfairly, of course) a typical "country" name, much in the way "Paddy" (short for "Patrick," after the patron saint of Ireland) came to signify "Irishman."

It's 'Magpie' according to the New Exeter Statue. Not sure about the letters, though. Must be 'magpie' in Middle English.

1st of all, it is "Fledermaus" in German; "Fleder" is derived from "flattern", which means "flutter"; "maus" of course is "mouse" because people thought the animal resembles a mouse. The English word "bat" seems to be related to Scandinavian "bakke", which is again related to "bacon" (meaning 'ham') because in hibernation bats hang in their caves like hams in a pantry.
