Æthelwulf, King of Wessex

ca. 795 - 858  (~ 63 jaar)

• Naam	Æthelwulf
  Achtervoegsel	King of Wessex
  Geboren	ca. 795	Aachen, NRW, Deutschland
  	King Cynewulf was murdered in 786. His succession was contested by Ecgberht, but he was defeated by Beorhtric, maybe with Offa's assistance.[16][17] The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Ecgberht spent three years in Francia before he was king, exiled by Beorhtric and Offa. The text says "iii" for three, but this may have been a scribal error, with the correct reading being "xiii", that is, thirteen years. Beorhtric's reign lasted sixteen years, and not thirteen; and all extant texts of the Chronicle agree on "iii", but many modern accounts assume that Ecgberht did indeed spend thirteen years in Francia
