BOLD STATEMENT THEN…

The term ‘Bretwalda’ or ‘Brytenwealda’ was an informal title bestowed upon an Anglo Saxon King. This is translated to ‘Ruler of Briton or ‘Ruler of the Britons’. The term is vague and has been debated by historians.

This was not a formal title, and not self proclaimed. It appears for an overlord to be recognized Bretwalda there would need to be a degree of acceptance among other Dynastic rulers that such a man be worthy to be recognized as such. In the words of Bede, the small list of Kings who laid claim to this title were regarded as holding ‘Imperium’ over the territory settled by the Anglo Saxons.

Bretwald was originally founded 15 years ago in the United Kingdom by A. Sybaris, PhD, with a vision to excel in commodity trading. In our early years, much of our business was concentrated between Poland and Ukraine, regions rich in agricultural resources and industrial potential. This focus allowed us to build strong relationships with big factories, agricultural owners, and investors in the burgeoning sectors of solar and biogas energy.

Recognizing the shifting dynamics of global markets and the strategic advantages of a more central location, we relocated our headquarters to Limassol, Cyprus. This move has positioned us at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, enhancing our ability to serve a diverse and expanding client base.

As the world evolves, so do we. Bretwald is actively moving towards the energy, resources, and new technology sectors—industries that are ever-expanding and critical for sustainable development. Our commitment to innovation and adaptation ensures that we remain at the forefront of these fields, providing cutting-edge solutions and opportunities for our clients.

Our journey from a UK-based commodity trading firm to an international company rooted in Cyprus reflects our dedication to growth and excellence. We continue to build upon our strong foundation, always striving to meet the changing needs of the global market and to contribute positively to the industries we serve.
