Notes |
- --Other Fields Ref Number: 598 Ref: Colonial and Revolutionary Linages of America 973 D2ah Vol. 2 - King of the West Saxons. After about three years in exile in France, during which he resided with Charlemagne, King of the Fanks, Egbert returned to England in 802 to ascend the West Saxon throne. Soon afterwards he held a "parliament" at Winchester, in which he ordered that his kingdom should be changed to that of England. Egbert spent a large part of his life in war. He conquered the West Welsh or the area known as Cornwall, subdued the people of Surrey, Sussex and Essex, and in 829 marched against Northumbria and Mercia. Though Egbert had succeeded in uniting a large part of England under his control, he was not King of England, for the idea of a territorial kingship belongs to a later period. There are still extant coins struck by Egbert, though these are now rare. He was on friendly terms with the Archbishop of Canterbury and with other bishops of England. In 834 his dominions were invaded by Scandinavian pirates and in 837 he fought a fierce battle against them in Hengestdune. When he died in 839, after a reign of 37 years, he was succeeded by his son, Aethelwulf. GIVEN NAMES: Also shown as Egbert Of BIRTH: Also shown as Born Abt 784 DEATH: Also shown as Died 839
