Notes for Aethelwulf, (King of England(839-856)):
Æthelwulf was the son of Egbert and a sub-king of Kent. He assumed the throne of Wessex upon his father's death in 839. His reign is characterized by the usual Viking invasions and repulsions common to all English rulers of the time, but the making of war was not his chief claim to fame. Æthelwulf is remembered, however dimly, as a highly religious man who cared about the establishment and preservation of the church. He was also a wealthy man and controlled vast resources. Out of these resources, he gave generously, to Rome and to religious houses that were in need.

He was an only child, but had fathered five sons, by his first wife, Osburga. He recognized that there could be difficulties with contention over the succession. He devised a scheme which would guarantee (insofar as it was possible to do so) that each child would have his turn on the throne without having to worry about rival claims from his siblings. Æthelwulf provided that the oldest living child would succeed to the throne and would control all the resources of the crown, without having them divided among the others, so that he would have adequate resources to rule. That he was able to provide for the continuation of his dynasty is a matter of record, but he was not able to guarantee familial harmony with his plan. This is proved by what we know of the foul plottings of his son, Æthelbald, while Æthelwulf was on pilgrimage to Rome in 855.

Æthelwulf was a wise and capable ruler, whose vision made possible the beneficial reign of his youngest son, Alfred the Great.

Reigned 839-856 (abdicated). Under-king of Kent 825-839 and 856-858. Renown for his military prowess, he reputedly defeated 350 viking ships (851). He reduced taxation, endowed the Church, made lay lands inheritable, and provided systems of poor relief.

Notes for Osburh:
Some sources show her dying in 955. She is often confused with St. Osburga who founded Coventry Abbey. The divorced was in 853

Children of Aethelwulf and Osburh are:
+ 6 i. Alfred, "The Great" (King Wessex(871-899)), born 849 in Wantage, Berkshire, England; died October 26, 899 in England.
+ 7 ii. Aethelred I, (King of ENGLAND(866-871), born Abt. 843; died April 15, 871 in Merton.
+ 8 iii. Aethelbald, (King of England(855-860)) born Abt. 834.
+ 9 iv. Aethelbert, (King of England(860-866)) born Abt. 836; died Abt. 616.

Aethelbald reigned from 855 - 860 .
Aethelbert reigned from 860 - 866 .
Aethelred reigned from 866 - 871 .

Aethelred, Alfred's only surviving elder brother had two sons. The eldest would have been declared king if primogeniture had been a common practice at the time. It was decided however that a strong and more mature ruler was required to defend Wessex. Wessex was the subject of almost constant attack from the Danes, or Vikings, as they are more commonly known Alfred was twenty two when he was declared king. He was semi illiterate but at the same time articulate. Illiteracy was not uncommon, even among the aristocracy. It is strange how little we know about this period as far as the Saxon rulers are concerned. So it is surprising that we know so much about Alfred. This is basically all down to one person. A Welshman and confidant of the king, by the name of Asser . It is the chronicles written by this man that give us a good insight into Alfred, his life and the torment he must have suffered. As constantly stated, Saxon chronicles have to be examined carefully to sift the underlying information, which is generally correct, if somewhat romantic, biased or jingoistic.

Aser tells us that Alfred suffered from mental and physical deformities. What these may have been are not really explained by him. It is a fact however, that his contribution to this countries heritage and culture are immense. He was a fair king but would not tolerate disobedience. He only too well understood the constant threat from the Danes on his kingdom and made reparations. It is surprising it took him so long as Wessex was always under constant threat. He indulged in a massive construction program. From fortifications to moving buildings stone by stone, especially those of religious or other importance.

To understand this you must return to his formative years. In 853 when Alfred was four years old, he was sent by his father to Rome to stay with Pope Leo IV who treated him like a son he could never have. For what purpose his father sent him there, and what relationship his father had with the Pope is also rather vague. It is a fact in most families that the youngest child is always treated differently to the others. Whatever the reason, it had a profound effect on Alfred. Two or three years later he visited Rome again with his father, who thought he was close death. After about a year, his father had still not died, so they returned to England. Alfred loved poetry and art and was a very pious person. He was unable to read but had a phenomenal memory. He could memorise whole manuscripts when read to him. It is very difficult to accept that Alfred was semi illiterate, as his time spent in Rome, prayers spoken and sung in Latin plus his exposure to Latin manuscripts including learned men, who could read, make Asser's words difficult to totally accept.

The first conflict we know Alfred engaged in was against the Danes in 868 when he fought beside his brother in Mercia. He would have been nineteen at the time. In those days a battle veteran. His brother died in 871 leaving Alfred in total control of Wessex in preference to Aethelred's sons, for the reasons described earlier. In 878 there came a turning point in Alfred's life. A large force of Danes invaded Wessex in the middle of winter. This almost totally defeated the west Saxon army giving the Vikings the upper hand. Unfortunately for them, they failed to capture Alfred who retreated underground, Robin Hood style. In the Easter time he moved to a place called Athelney in Somerset. Here he built a fortification. To take on the Danes he recruited his forces clandestinely in Somerset, Hampshire and Wiltshire. He had been using Guerrilla tactics for much of this time against the Danes. Alfred now felt confident and strong enough to take them on face to face.

During his time in exile, the following story has become a legend. Alfred was hiding in the home of a cowherd. The wife was baking some bread as Alfred was making some arrows for his bow. Unfortunately the bread started to burn, but Alfred was so engrossed in what he was doing, he let them burn, much to the anger of the wife, who castigated him for his stupidity and thoughtlessness, never knowing he was the king. This story possibly never happened but a distortion of other events by the 12th century chronicle of St Neot's. The more popular version of this story is of Alfred burning the cakes.

Alured learnt quite a lot from this defeat by the Danes. The first thing he did was fortify his own camp. A practice the Danes always adhered to. He rallied his men and did battle with the Danes at a place called Edington in Wiltshire. He inflicted a heavy defeat on the Danes and their leader. Euthrum the Viking, who had declared himself king previously, was forced to accept baptism. Not the usual course of events for people who were pagan and better known for rape and pillage. What Alfred did in Wessex after the battle of Edington was to organise in a methodical way so that everybody had a role and felt secure. His achievements were remarkable for those times. His first task was to set about protecting the whole of Wessex on a grander version of Athelney. His defences included fortresses or burh's built all over southern England. The word borough is used today which was derived from word burh. These places became populated and eventually turned into villages and towns that we know now today.

Not only did he introduce fortifications but managed to organise an army that was always ready at short notice to protect Wessex. It consisted of what we would call a regular army known as thegns and peasant militia or fyrd. This will be discussed more in other sections as this is important in the forces available to Harold II in the Battle of Hastings. Alfred was not only confident of taking on the Danes on land. He had many ships constructed so that he could engage them even before they reached English soil. The Danes continued to invade for almost the next hundred years, off and on. But the defences put up by Alfred made him almost untouchable. This system was admired throughout Europe, and was copied, especially by Henry the Saxon king of Germany 919-36.

Having secured the defence of his kingdom of Wessex. He started to yearn for the more intangible things in life. At the age of 38 in 887 he decided to learn to read latin. He had learned men at court, but literacy was never considered a pre-requisite so it must have been a problem as far as tutors were concerned. We can only assume that with his extremely good memory he picked up the language quite quickly. He had at least five major works translated into English. So he must have been able to read quite well as it is thought that he was one of the translators. Probably the most famous was Augustine's Soliloquies. Alfred was only fifty years old when he died in 899. English culture and way of life that we take for granted may have been very different if it was not for this man. He shaped and moulded Wessex so that the Saxon kings that followed, although not so well known, continued his work to eventually unite the whole of England.

In summary, Alfred, The Great Reigned from 871-899. He prevented the Danish conquest of England, defeating them at Edington(878) after a campaign of guerrila warfare. After his victory he allowed the Danes to keep their conquests in Mercia nd East Anglia provided that Guthrum, their King, was converted to Christianity. Alfred built a navy of Warships to defend the south coast against further Danish invasions (885-86;892-96) and protected Wessex with a chain of fortifications. He took London (886), this gaining control of all England except the Danish areas.

Notes for Athelstan, (King of England(924-939) (BROTHER of EDMUND) :
Athelstan or Aethelstan, son of Edward the Elder and grandson of Alfred the great, (and brother of Edmund I) continued in the same fashion as his forebears. If Aethelfleda had not died when she did, she probably would have totally eliminated the Danish threat for ever. Had Alfred the Great continued squeezing the Danes, the children and grandchildren would not have had this problem. Forgiveness seemed to be endemic in this family. Following unrest in Yorkshire around 926, Athelstan with his forces marched north. Northumbria soon submitted. The king of the Scots, realising that he was probably the next conquest, also submitted. Athelstan was called to invade Scotland in 933 to quell a revolt.

In 937, a most unusual event occurred. Most of the rulers of Northern Britain joined forces to challenge a power of Athelstan. An unlikely alliance of Danes, Celts, Scots and probably other aggrieved parties. Under the leadership of Constantine, king of the Scots and Olaf, king of Dublin. Athelstan challenged the alliance to do battle. He was said to have been given the honour of deciding the time and the place. Two days of bloody fighting resulted in a English victory. The exact location of this battle is unclear, but is known as the battle of Brunanburgh. The defeated leaders retreated back to their kingdoms with their tails between their legs. Athelstan could now be considered the king of all England. This victory did not go unnoticed on the continent. He developed a reputation of being a great leader, and one to be feared. A message he would like the Scandinavian countries to heed.

Reigned 924-940. This renowned prince, who by the splendid victory of Brunanburgh crushed his enemies, and achieved the sovereignty of the whole island, had the glory of establishing what has ever since been called the kingdom of England. Stammtafeln says he was also Archbishop of Canterbury

Notes for Edmund I, "the Deed Doer"(King of England939-46):
http://battle166.com/
Very little is known about Edmund I. He became king after the death of his step brother Athelstan. In 944 he recaptured Danish Mercia and the following year invaded Strathclyde. Like Edgar who would continue his work, he was responsible for the monastic revival. He became friendly with a Wessex monk by the name of Dunstan. Dunstan was appointed as abbot of Glastonbury and in 960, Archbishop of Canterbury. Edmund was supposedly murdered during a brawl with an outlaw within in his own walls.

He Reigned 940-946. He murdered the Outlaw, Leolf, who stabbed him to death at a banquet to St.Augustine He expelled the Norse King Olaf from Northumbria in 944. He supported Dunstan in the reintroduction of the Monastic rule of St. Benedict.

Notes for Edwy,"The Fair" (King of England(955-9)):
Edwy succeeded his uncle Edred. Not popular, he was at odds with St Dunstan and exiled him. He managed to alienate the Mercians and Northumbrians leading to the withdrawal of their support for Edgar. This left him in power only south of the river Thames. So between 957 and 959 there were effectively two kings of England. Edwy reigned from 955-959. He lost Mercia and Northumbria. He forced St. Dunstan into exile. By his tyranical proceedings, the immorality of his private life, his connection with Elgiva alienated the affections of his subjects. Also rumored that Edwy's mistress was his wife's mother.

Notes for "The peaceful" (King of England(959-975)) Edgar:
King Edgar, The Peaceful (943-75), king of the English (957-75). His reign was one of orderly prosperity. He initiated widespread monastic reforms and granted practical autonomy to the Danes in England (see DANELAW) in return for their loyalty. His son was Aethelred II, the Unready King of England.

The blood line of Alfred continued with Edgar. He was the youngest son of Edmund I and brother of Edwy. His reign was one of relative peace. This respite from Nordic attacks, inspired a cultural renaissance in England. Edgar's coronation at Bath conducted for some reason in 973, was the one that is used to the present day. It consists of the recognition and oath, which is a form of contract sworn between the monarch and the people. The consecration by anointment.

The investiture and crowning followed by enthronement and homage. This ceremony would have been conducted in Latin and remained that way until translated and conducted in English for the coronation of James 1. The word patriotism, so long, unthinkable in a disrupted land was developing. A nation acting as one was admired throughout Europe. Edgar ensured a fairer system of taxes and local government and that every shire had a market town. Law and order for the first time seemed to work. England's prosperity grew. Edgar was responsible for continuing the resurgence of monastic society started by Edmund I. Dunstan was Archbishop of Canterbury. There are many stories about Edgar. The most famous was that his power was so great that he arranged for eight Scottish and Welsh vassal kings to row him along the river Dee. When Edgar died, England was a prosperous and admired country. This had not gone un-noticed by the Scandinavians.

He Reigned from 959-975. The first King of a united England. He allowed his Danish subjects to retain Danish laws. Edgar promoted a monastic revival and encouraged trade by reforming the currency. He improved defence by organising coastal naval patrols and a system for manning warships. Although he suceeded on 1st October 959, he was not crowned until 973 because St Dunstan, the Archbishop of Canterbury, disaproved of his way of life.

Notes for Edward, "The Martyr" (King of England(975-8)):
(Half 30th Great-Granduncle)
Following the death of Edgar, there followed a incident that shamed the monarchy. Edward followed his father to the throne. He was the eldest son. A dispute developed between himself and the supporters of Aethelred, who was his younger half brother. On a visit to him at Corfe castle, he was brutally murdered by a thegn of the queen mother's household. He would have been about 15 years old at the time. He was eventually known as Edward the Martyr. A chronicler at the time wrote. " A worse deed was never done among the English".

Notes for Aethelred II, "the Unready" (King of England):
Aethelred II, b. 965- d.1016, king of England (978-1016), called Æthelred the Unready [Old Eng., (= (without counsel]. He was the son of EDGAR, and the half brother and successor of Edward the Martyr. A weak king, he reigned at the height of Danish power. Although he began paying tribute through the DANEGELD to the Danes in 991, they returned in 997 to plunder his realm, staying until 1000. In 1002 Æthelred married Emma, sister of the duke of Normandy, possibly hoping to gain an ally. Although by 1009 a navy existed, the treason of its commanders rendered it useless. In 1013 the Danish king SWEYN returned to conquer; he was well received in the DANELAW and London capitulated. Æthelred fled to Normandy but was restored in 1014 on Sweyn's death. In 1016 Æthelred's son EDMUND IRONSIDE succeeded him, made a treaty with CANUTE, son of Sweyn, and died. Canute succeeded him and married Æthelred's widow

He Reigned from 979-1013(deposed) and 1014-1016. In the face of Danish raids, he was forced to pay huge tributes (Danegeld) to the enemy. He was driven into exile by Sweyn but returned after his death. Died during Canutes invasion of England. Burke says he died 1010.

He Reigned from 1042-1066. Named for his piety and his foundation of a new Westminster Abbey (consecrated in 1065). He lived in Normandy (1016-41) and his early reign was dominated by rivalry between his Norman favourites and his father-in-Law. After 1053, the Goodwins were in the ascendant. Edward's childlessness led ultimately to the Norman conquest. He was canonised in 1161. His feast day is 13th October. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, England

He was a brilliant soldier and tactician who was in the mould of Alfred and Athelstan. Declared an outcast by his father, he died at the age of 22 after only a few short months on the throne.
