Notes for this person

Koning van Wessex en Engeland (839-856); hij werd vervangen door zijnzoon Aethelbald en moest zich toen vergenoegen met Essex, Sussex, Surrey en Kent. King of Kent (856-858). In his youth, Ethelwulf performed brilliantlyas a general for his father Egbert. Ethelwulf's forces defeated the sub-king of Kent, whith the result that Sussex, Essex, Surrey and Kent were added to the kingdom of Wessex. As king of Wessex, Ethelwulf worried increasingly abut the Danish threat. After the winter of 850, whilepart of the Danish forces were engaged at Sandwich with Ethelwulf's eldest son Ethelstan, the main Danish army marched through Canterbury and London. Ethelwulf and his son Ethelbald defeated this army overwhelmingly. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the battle resulted in'the biggest slaughter among the heathen host that we have ever heardtell of to this present day'. Events: Abdication in 856.
