Notes for AEthelbert Of Wessex: Very little is known about Aethelbert, who took his rightful place in the line of succession to the throne of Wessex at aroun 30 years of age. Like all other rulers of his day, he had to contend with Viking raids on his territories, and even had to battle them in his capital city of Winchester. Apparently, his military leaderlship was adequate, since, on this occasion, the vikings were cut off on their retreat to the coast and were slaughtered, according to a contemporary source, in a "bloody battle". He was King of England 860 - 866. |

Notes for AEthelbald Of Wessex: While his father Aethelwulf, was on pilgrimage to Rome in 855, Aethelbald plotted with the Bishop of Sherbourne and the ealdorman of Somerset against him. The specific details of the plot are unknown, but upon his return from Rome, Aethelwulf found his direct authority limited to the sub-kingdom of Kent, while Aethelbald controlled Wessex. Aethelwulf died in 858 and full control passed to Aethelbald. Perhaps Aethelbald's premature power grab was occasioned by impatience, or greed, or lack of confidence in his father's succession plans. Whatever the case, he did not live long to enjoy it. He died in 860, passing the throne to his brother, Aethelbert, just as Aethelwullf had planned. Aethelbald was King of England 858 - 860. |
