Notes |
- 802-39 AD Known as the first King of All England, he was forced into a period of exile at the court of Charlemagne, by the powerful Offa, king of Mercia. Egbert returned to England in 802 and was recognized as king of Wessex. He defeated the rival Mercians at the battle of Ellendun in 825. In 829, the Northumbrians accepted his overlordship and he was proclaimed "Bretwalda" or sole ruler of Britain.
As a young man Egbert was exiled from Britain and took refuge at the Frankish court of Charlemagne, and it was there that he met and married Redburga, niece of Emperor Char-lemagne.
He later returned to Britain when he was able to peacefully assume the crown of Wessex, then proceeded to do battle with all around him. He defeated Beornwulf, King of Mercia; Baldred, King of Kent; and the men of Surrey, Sussex, and Essex. The King of the East Angles turned to Egbert as protector. He also made incursions into Northumbria and Wales, where he
received tribute. With this consolidation, he became known as ruler of all Britain.
