Mother: REDBURH (Redburga) of the Franks |
The reign of King Athelwulf (839-58): S. Keynes, 'Anglo-Saxon
Entries in the "Liber Vitae" of Brescia', in T31, pp. 99-119 -
entries relating to members of the West Saxon and Mercian royal
families, and others, apparently on their various ways to Rome
in 853 (the Athelings Athelred and Alfred), 855 (King Athelwulf
and Alfred) and 874 (King Burgred and Queen Athelswith). J.
Booth, 'Monetary Alliance or Technical Co-operation? The Coinage
of Berhtwulf of Mercia (840-852)', in M123, pp. 63-103.
"The significance of the role of King Athelwulf in consolidating
the work of his predecessors, and in establishing the
credentials of the West Saxon monarchy, should not be
underestimated. See, e.g. Wormald (F5), pp. 140-2; Kirby (A10),
p. 195; Keynes (E31), pp. 40-1; Keynes (F42), p. 62; Smyth
(F51), p. 552-3; John (T54), pp. 71-4; and cf. Stenton (A1), pp.
244-5.
Athelwulf was credited with a great victory over a viking army
at the battle of Aclea in 851 (ASC). In 853, he brought the
Welsh to submission, despatched his son Alfred to Rome (cf. EHD
no. 219), and gave his daughter in marriage to Burgred, king of
the Mercians (ASC). He instituted a 'decimation' of his land in
854-5. He went to Rome himself, taking Alfred with him, in 855
(ASC; Annals of Saint-Bertin, in Nelson (B606),pp. 80-3; Liber
Pontificalis, in Davis, Lives of the Ninth-Century Popes (B600),
pp. 186-7), and married Judith, daughter of Charles the Bald, on
the way back. For the 'first' coronation ordo, see B470. For
Athelwulf's difficulties and dispositions after his return from
Rome, see Asser (B81), chs. 12-13 and 16. For relations between
Wessex and Mercia, see Keynes (F90). For King Athelwulf's ring,
see Wilson (B840), no. 31, and A200 no. 243. For the suggestion
that Deor is a satire on King Athelwulf, see North, in OEN 29.2
(1996), pp. 35-6. R.H.M. Dolley and K. Skaare, 'The Coinage of
Athelwulf, King of the West Saxons', in T20, pp. 63-76."
"M.J. Enright, 'Charles the Bald and Athelwulf of Wessex: the
Alliance of 856 and Strategies of Royal Succession', Journal of
Medieval History 5 (1979), pp. 291-302; P. Stafford, 'Charles
the Bald, Judith, and England' (1981), reptd in Gibson and
Nelson (F2), pp. 139-53 - on the politics behind King
Athelwulf's marriage to Judith in 856."
"Aethelwulf reigned 839-858, "chiefly occupied with struggles
against the Danes" {-Encycl.Brit., 1956 Ed. 1:276}. In 855 went
to Rome with Alfred; on way home married Judith, daughter of
Charles the Bold. Aethelwulf ruled Wessex 839-856 (abdicated)
and was Under-King of Kent 825-839 and 856-858. His daughter
Aethelswith m. (Easter, 853 at Chippenham) Burgred, King of the
Mercians (who succeeded Berhtwulf). His third son, Aethelbert,
reigned 860-866 (buried at Sherborne)."
