- Affiliation: House of Wessex, House of Cerdic, Cerdicingas
- LifeSketch: Æthelwulf was the son of Ecgberht. There is no clear source for the name of his mother,[1] though a late source names her as "Rædburh, regis Francorum sororia" - Rædburh, sister of the king of the Franks[2] - and this is hesitantly reflected in Medlands.[3] His birth date is uncertain, but the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records him being with the army in 825,[4] so he will almost certainly have been born by 810, and possibly around 800. During his father's reign in Wessex, Æthelwulf acted as sub-king of Kent.[1] Some charters suggest that Æthelwulf was ruling Kent by the mid-820s, but these charters are of doubtful validity.[2] In 839 he succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex on his father's death, making his oldest son Athelstan sub-king of Kent.[1][4] Kent - which had previously had ties to Mercia - became increasingly linked to Wessex, though it was not formally incorporated into Wessex, and, after he became king of Wessex, Æthelwulf had his main mint at Canterbury.[1] There had been a long-running dispute with Mercia over control of Berkshire: by 850 this was settled in Wessex's favour.[3] Æthelwulf's reign was characterised by an intensification of Viking attacks. In 843 he fought unsuccessfully against a Danish force at Carhampton, Somerset. In 851, he and his son Æthelbald won a victory at a place called Aclea (location unknown) against Vikings who had attacked Canterbury and London and defeated a Mercian army.[1][4][5] In 853 Æthewlulf helped his son-in-law Burghred against the Welsh.[1][4][5] That year he sent his son Alfred, the future Alfred the Great, to Rome, where Asser claims that the Pope anointed Alfred as king,[5] though this is doubtful.[6] In 855 Æthelwulf granted the church a tenth of his lands.[4][7] There are a significant number of surviving charters of religious houses purporting to record grants that were part of this, but most of them may be later fabrications.[8] Æthelwulf's first wife was Osburh according to Asser's biography of King Alfred.[5] The date of their marriage is not known. She is normally regarded as the mother of Æthelwulf's children:[1] Athelstan Æthelbald Æthelberht Æthelred Alfred the Great Æthelswith Osburh presumably died by 856, when Æthelwulf remarried.[1] In 855 Æthelwulf made a pilgrimage to Rome, staying about a year, and making generous gifts to the church of St Peter, and to the clergy and people of Rome.[1] According to Asser, Æthelwulf's son Alfred accompanied him.[5] On his way back, he stopped for several months in the kingdom of Charles the Bald, king of the West Franks. There, in July 856, he was betrothed to Charles's daughter Judith. They married on 1 October 856, and Æthelwulf had her formally consecrated as queen, which was fairly unusual.[1] The marriage strengthened already existing links between Wessex and the Franks: from the 840s, one of Æthelwulf's main officials had been a Frank called Felix.[1] While he was abroad, Æthelwulf's son Æthelbald was left in charge of Wessex, and Æthelberht became sub-king of Kent. Asser, in his Life of King Alfred, states that there was a plot, in which Æthelbald was involved, to try and prevent Æthelwulf from resuming kingship of Wessex:[5] this may have been because Æthelbald feared his rights to the throne of Wessex might be threatened by a child of his father's second marriage.[1] There is, though, no mention of any such rebellion in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, and Asser's account of Æthelbald is clearly written from a very hostile viewpoint. Whatever the facts, Æthelwulf divided his realm between himself and Æthelbald, with Æthelbald becoming king of western Wessex, while Æthelwulf kept control of eastern Wessex.[1] According to Asser, the division was made to avoid civil war.[5] Æthelwulf died in early 858. John of Worcester, writing in the 12th century, gives the death date as 13 January 858,[2] but there appears to be no earlier source to confirm this. He was initially buried at Steyning, Sussex: his remains were later transferred to Winchester.[1] It is thought that they may be among the bones in surviving mortuary chests in Winchester Cathedral.[9] In his will, Æthelwulf provided that his two oldest surviving sons, Æthelbald and Æthelberht, should share in the rule of his realm bequeathed most of his private property to his children and other relatives made a charitable bequest to the poor stipulated that each year three hundred mancuses - £37 10s - should be sent to the Church in Rome[5] Æthelbald succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex, and Æthelberht to Kent.[4]
- LifeSketch: Æthelwulf was the son of King Ecgberht of Wessex. Ecgberht was from Wessex but was in exile in Francia until 802 when he returned and took control of the throne of Wessex. Æthelwulf was likely born in Wessex sometime after Ecgberht's return, between 802 and 810, but Æthelwulf was first recorded in 825, when Egbert sent Æthelwulf with Eahlstan, Bishop of Sherborne, and Wulfheard, Ealdorman of Hampshire, and a large army into Kent to expel sub-king Baldred. The name of Æthelwulf's mother is not known, and he had no recorded siblings. He is known to have had two wives in succession, and so far as is known, Osburh, the senior of the two, was the mother of all his children. She was the daughter of Oslac, described by Asser, biographer of their son Alfred the Great, as "King Æthelwulf's famous butler", a man who was descended from Jutes who had ruled the Isle of Wight. Æthelwulf and Osburh had six known children: - Æthelstan (c 820-c850) - Æthelbald (c835 -860) married Judith of France after his father's death - Æthelswith (c 838 - 888) Married King Burgred of Mercia, became Queen of Mercia - Æthelberht (c839 - 865) - Æthelred (c 845 - 871) - Alfred (848/849 – 26 October 899) His eldest son, Æthelstan, was old enough to be appointed King of Kent in 839, so he must have been born by the early 820s, and he died in the early 850s.The second son, Æthelbald, is first recorded as a charter witness in 841, and if, like Alfred, he began to attest when he was around six, he would have been born around 835; he was King of Wessex from 858 to 860. Æthelwulf's third son, Æthelberht, was probably born around 839 and was king from 860 to 865. The only daughter, Æthelswith, married Burgred, King of Mercia, in 853. The other two sons were much younger: Æthelred was born around 848 and was king from 865 to 871, and Alfred was born around 849 and was king from 871 to 899. Osburh probably died by 855, although it is possible that she was repudiated. In 856 Æthelwulf married Judith, daughter of Charles the Bald, King of West Francia and future Holy Roman Emperor, and his wife Ermentrude. There were no children from Æthelwulf's marriage to Judith, and after his death she married his eldest surviving son and successor, Æthelbald.

- LifeSketch: Ceawlin (also spelled Ceaulin and Caelin, died ca. 593) was a King of Wessex. He may have been the son of Cynric of Wessex and the grandson of Cerdic of Wessex, whom the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle represents as the leader of the first group of Saxons to come to the land which later became Wessex. Ceawlin was active during the last years of the Anglo-Saxon expansion, with little of southern England remaining in the control of the native Britons by the time of his death. The chronology of Ceawlin's life is highly uncertain. The historical accuracy and dating of many of the events in the later Anglo-Saxon Chronicle have been called into question, and his reign is variously listed as lasting seven, seventeen, or thirty-two years.[1] The Chronicle records several battles of Ceawlin's between the years 556 and 592, including the first record of a battle between different groups of Anglo-Saxons, and indicates that under Ceawlin Wessex acquired significant territory, some of which was later to be lost to other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Ceawlin is also named as one of the eight "bretwaldas", a title given in the Chronicle to eight rulers who had overlordship over southern Britain, although the extent of Ceawlin's control is not known. Ceawlin died in 593, having been deposed the year before, possibly by his successor, Ceol. He is recorded in various sources as having two sons, Cutha and Cuthwine, but the genealogies in which this information is found are known to be unreliable. The annal for the year 592 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle reads: "Here there was a great slaughter at Woden's Barrow, and Ceawlin was driven out." Excerpt from Wikipedia-article is extensive; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceawlin_of_Wessex --------------- Ceawlin, (died 593), king of the West Saxons, or Wessex, from 560 to 592, who drove the Britons from most of southern England and carved out a kingdom in the southern Midlands. Ceawlin helped his father, King Cynric, defeat the Britons at Beranbyrg (Barbury) in 556. In 568, eight years after he assumed the West Saxon kingship, Ceawlin and his brother Cutha severely defeated King Aethelberht I of Kent. Ceawlin’s victory over the Britons at Deorham (Dyrham) in 577 led to the capture of Gloucester, Cirencester, and Bath. The valley of the lower Severn River was thereby opened to West Saxon colonists, and the Britons of Wales were cut off from their kinsmen on England’s southwestern peninsula. Nevertheless, a king named Ceol seized at least part of Ceawlin’s lands in 591. After being defeated by Ceol at Woddesbeorg (or Wodnesbeorg; now Adam’s Grave in Wiltshire) in 592, Ceawlin was driven into exile. He was killed the next year. The 8th-century historian Bede included him in his list of seven successive rulers who were overlords (bretwaldas) of all the lands south of the Humber. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ceawlin

- Also known as: Prince Creoda Crioda of Wessex
- LifeSketch: Creoda of Wessex, identified by some sources as the son of Cerdic and father of Cynric. Unfortunately he is not mentioned in all sources, and sources that do identify him often contradict themselves. This makes his existence questionable. As a result most modern sources simply omit Creoda and identify Cynric as the son of Cerdic. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Creoda (? died 534) is a shadowy figure from early Wessex history whose existence is disputed. The name Creoda appears in the Genealogical Regnal List that serves as preface to some manuscripts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, where he is stated to have been the son of Cerdic and father to Cynric. However, the main annalistic section of the Chronicle omits any mention of Creoda, and describe Cynric as the son of Cerdic. Similar contradiction occurs in surviving copies of the now-lost The Life of King Alfred, which Asser commenced with a paternal ancestry of Alfred the Great that includes the name Creoda between Cerdic and Cynric,[1] but the following section relating Alfred's maternal ancestry calls Cynric the son of Cerdic. If he existed, he may have ruled Wessex for a short period of time immediately after Cerdic's death. Conflicting theories If the historical existence of Creoda is admitted, there are a number of theories as to his identity and why he appears in some primary sources, but not others. His inclusion in the genealogies was original, and his name was removed from some lists at a late date for dynastic and political reasons.[2] He was a contemporary of Cerdic and Cynric, but ruled the Thames Valley Saxons, while they ruled the Hampshire Saxons. He is seen as the ancestor of the later kings: Ceawlin, Caedwalla and Ine. At some late date Creoda was inserted into the Cerdicing line as the son of Cerdic, when descent from Cerdic became necessary for any king of Wessex.[3] Creoda has been confused with Cerdic and some of Cerdic's later activities have been misassigned in the texts, and were originally those of Creoda and Cynric.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creoda_of_Wessex

- LifeSketch: Cynric /ˈkɪnˌrɪtʃ/ was King of Wessex from 534 to 560. Everything known about him comes from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. There, he is stated to have been(both the son and/or grandson) of Cerdic, who is considered the founder of the kingdom of Wessex.[2] Some accounts cite that Cynric was (in the regnal list in the preface) the son of Cerdic's son, Creoda.[3] (This makes some sense in that Cynric would have been a one year old at the time the ships arrived in Anglia) Conquest The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle describes Cerdic and Cynric with five ships landing in the area around Southampton in 495.[4][5] According to the chronicle, the two are described as aristocratic "ealdormen" but only assumed rule over the Gewissae (as the West Saxons were known before the late 7th century) in 519.[6] This implies that Cynric was not a royal leader, and he and his father were only elevated to kingship when they allegedly conquered the heartlands of the future Wessex. Rule During his reign, as described in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Saxons expanded into Wiltshire against strong resistance and captured Searobyrig, or Old Sarum, near Salisbury, in 552. In 556, he and his son Ceawlin won a battle against the Britons at Beranburh, now identified as Barbury Castle.[7] If these dates are accurate, then it is unlikely that the earlier entries in the Chronicle, starting with his arrival in Britain with his father Cerdic in 495, are correct. David Dumville has suggested that his true regnal dates are 554–581.[8] Some note that Ceawlin's origin and his relationship with Cynric are obscure and that chroniclers merely suggested that they were relatives or that he was Cynric's son to legitimize the later Wessex lineage.[5] Etymology The name Cynric has a straightforward Old English etymology meaning "Kin-ruler". However, as some scholars have proposed that both his predecessor, Cerdic, and successor, Ceawlin, had Celtic names,[6] an alternative etymology has been postulated, deriving the name from Brittonic "Cunorix", meaning "Hound-king" (which developed into Cinir in Old Welsh, Kynyr in Middle Welsh).[9][10][11] He was succeeded by his son Ceawlin. Part of the House of Wessex. Not a royal leader. He was only elevated to kingship when he and his father conquered the heartlands of the future Wessex. Cynric means King-Ruler in Old English. The name could also derive from the Brittonic 'Cunorix' meaning 'Hound-King'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynric#Rule

- LifeSketch: Ecgberht (also Egbert, Ecgbert, Ecgbriht, Ecgbeorht) Bretwalda and King of Wessex and Kent, was the son of King Ealhmund of Kent. The name of his mother is not known but he was likely born about 770 in Kent. Ecgberht's father, Ealhmund, King of Kent in 784, was dethroned by Offa of Mercia in 785, and Ecgberht likely fled to Wessex. In 786 Cynewulf, King of Wessex, was murdered and Beorhtric became king. Ecgberht contested the succession but was defeated by Beorhtric. In 789 Beorhtric, and his father in law, Offa of Mercia, drove Ecgberht out of Wessex completely, into exile in Francia at the court of Charlemagne. Charlemagne was also an enemy of Offa. Ecgberht spent 3 or 13 years there (experts do not agree) and while there learned how to govern from Charlemagne. While in France he is also believed to have married. A fifteenth-century chronicle identifies Ecgberht's wife as Redburga, a relative of Charlemagne. Other scholars dispute this. Regardless of her name, Ecgberht and his wife had 2, possibly 3** children: - Æthelwulf, who eventually succeeded his father as King of Wessex. - Edith, who became abbess of Polesworth Abbey. Her existence is confirmed by monastery records which name her as daughter of Ecgberht and sister of Æthelwulf. ** A 3 child, a son Æthelstan (fl. 839-851) is sometimes identified as Ecgberht's son and at others as his grandson, the son of Æthelwulf. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle versions A, B, and C identify Æthelstan as a son of Æthelwulf (therefore Ecgberht's grandson), while versions D, E, and F make Æthelstan the "other" son of Ecgberht. The chronicler Æthelweard clearly states that Æthelstan was a son of Æthelwulf, as does William of Malmesbury and John of Worcester. Æthelstan appears in charters from 839 to 850. Most of those charters do not identify his paternity, but the few that do identify him as the son of Æthelwulf. Historians and scholars currently agree that he was more likely to have been the son of Æthelwulf and Ecgberht's grandson. ** In 802, 13 years after his exile, after the death of both Offa (in 796) and Beorhtric (in 802) Ecgberht returned and became king of the West Saxons (Wessex). It is believed Charlemagne assisted him in this. Upon the day of his succession, Wessex was attacked by the Hwicce, lead by an ealdorman named Æthelmund. Hwicce was at that time part of Mercia. Ecgberht's brother in law Wulfstan, husband of his sister Alburga, rode out to oppose them with an army of Wiltshiremen. The Hwicce were defeated and Æthelmund was killed, unfortunately, Wulfstan was killed as well. Ecgberth's sister Alburga, now widowed, turned the college of canons that her husband had established in 773, Wilton Abbey, into a Benedictine convent and retired there as Abbess. Not much is known of the 1st 20 years of Ecgberht's reign. Cenwulf King of Mercia had overlordship of the rest of southern England, but apparently this did not include Wessex. It is believed Wessex maintained its independence. In 825, Ecgberht defeated king Beornwulf of Mercia in battle. This is considered one of the most important battles in Anglo-Saxon history, for it marks the end of the Mercian Supremacy in southern England. Next Ecgberht's army, in the command of his son Æthelwulf, drove King Baldred of Kent out of his kingdom, and the men of Kent, Essex, Surrey and Sussex then all submitted to Æthelwulf "because earlier they were wrongly forced away from his relatives." 40 years after Ecgberht's father Ealhmund lost the throne of Kent, his son Ecgberht and grandson Æthelwulf regained control of the Kentish kingdom, plus so much more. In addition to Wessex, Ecgberht became King of Kent, Sussex, Surrey, and Essex, with Æthelwulf as sub-king in Kent. Finally in 829 Ecgberht conquered King Wiglaf of Mercia, becoming King of Mercia. This gave Ecgberht control of the London Mint, and he issued coins as the King of Mercia. Lastly he forced Northumbria into submission. After this the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names him as "Brytenwealda" meaning "Wide Ruler" "Controller of Britain". With his widespread control of the entire region, Ecgberht began a period of West Saxon supremacy, a unification of kingdoms under the rule of the West Saxons that eventually became the kingdom of England. His control of Mercia did not last long, Wiglaf returned from exile in 830 and regained the throne of Mercia. However, Wessex retained control of the rest. In 838 at a council at Kingston upon Thames, Ecgberht and Æthelwulf granted land to the Sees of Winchester and Canterbury in return for the promise that they would support Æthelwulf's claim to the throne. Ecgberht died in 839, and Æthelwulf succeeded him. Ecgberht was buried in Winchester, what is now known as the Old Minster. His bone are today purported to be contained in a 16th-century mortuary chest in Winchester Cathedral. Ecgberht's will, according to the account of it found in the will of his grandson, Alfred the Great, left land only to male members of his family, so that the estates should not be lost to the royal house through marriage. Ecgberht's descendants would rule Wessex and the Kingdom of England until the death of King Edward the Confessor in 1066. His bloodline continued on in Queen Margaret of Scotland, wife of Malcolm III, and he is a distant ancestor of todays British Royal Family, the House of Windsor. ----------------------------------------------------- ** The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Ecgberht spent three years in Francia before he was king, exiled by Beorhtric and Offa. The text says "iii" for three, but this may have been a scribal error, with the correct reading being "xiii", that is, thirteen years. Beorhtric's reign lasted sixteen years, and not thirteen; and all extant texts of the Chronicle agree on "iii", but many modern accounts assume that Ecgberht did indeed spend thirteen years in Francia. This requires assuming that the error in transcription is common to every manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle; many historians make this assumption but others have rejected it as unlikely, given the consistency of the sources. In either case Ecgberht was probably exiled in 789, when Beorhtric, his rival, married the daughter of Offa of Mercia **The chronicle (Hardy, Vol III, No. 326) describes Ecgberht's wife as "Redburga regis Francorum sororia" (sister or sister-in-law of the Frankish Emperor). Some nineteenth-century historians cited the manuscript to identify Redburga as Ecgberht's wife, such W. G. Searle in his 1897 Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum and (as Rædburh) in his 1899 Anglo-Saxon Bishops, Kings and Nobles. Other historians of that time were sceptical, such as William Hunt, who did not mention Redburga in his article about Ecgberht in the original Dictionary of National Biography in 1889 (Hunt, "Egbert", pp. 619–620). In the twentieth century, popular genealogists and historians have followed Searle in naming Redburga as Ecgberht's wife, but academic historians ignore her when discussing Ecgberht, and Janet Nelson's 2004 article on his son Æthelwulf in the Online Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states that his mother's name is unknown. ** Another Ecgberht, Ecgberht II of Kent, ruled Kent throughout the 770s; he is last mentioned in 779, in a charter granting land at Rochester. In 784 a new king of Kent, Ealhmund, appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. According to a note in the margin, "this king Ealhmund was Egbert's father [i.e. Ecgberht of Wessex], Egbert was Æthelwulf's father." This is supported by the genealogical preface from the A text of the Chronicle, which gives Ecgberht's father's name as Ealhmund without further details. The preface probably dates from the late ninth century; the marginal note is on the F manuscript of the Chronicle, which is a Kentish version dating from about 1100. ** The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle places Ecgbeorht's death in 836, but the chronicle's chronology is three years off at this point ["Her Ecgbryht cyning forþferde, ... & se Ecgbryht ricsode .xxxvii. wint. [&] .vii. monaþ." ASC(A) s.a. 836(=839)]. The Annals of St. Neots, which appear to be free of this chronological error, place his death in 839 ["mortuo Ecgbrychto rege nobili, ..." Ann. S. Neots, s.a. 839]. Ecgbeorht was still alive on 19 November 838. At a council of bishops at Astran in 839, Æthelwulf is stated to be in his first year after the death of his father ["Anno ab Incarnatione Christi DCCC.XXX.VIIII., Indictione II., primo videlicet anno regni Ethelwlfi regis post obitum patris sui, ..." Haddan-Stubbs (1869-78), 3: 624; Cart. Sax. 1: 594 (#421)]. This confirms directly that Ecgbeorht died in 838 or 839. The date can be refined further by calculating back from the eighteen and a half years which is given as the length of Æthelwulf's reign by the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle ["... þa feng Æðelwulf his sunu to & heold .xviiii. healf gear" Dumville (1986), 24; "... & he ricsode nigonteoþe healf gear." ASC(A) 1: 66]. Æthelwulf died in 858 [Ann. Bertin., s.a. 858, p. 49; AU, s.a. 857 (=858)], so the beginning of his reign did not reach as early as 838, or even as early as the early part of 839. If John of Worcester is correct in placing Æthelwulf's death on 13 January, then Ecgbeorht probably died in the middle of the year 839.

- National Identification: IND6274
- Title Of Nobility: Princess
- LifeSketch: Edith or Eadgyth is identified as the daughter of Ecgberht, King of Wessex, who ruled Wessex for 37 years. She is the sister of Æthelwulf, who succeeded their father in 839 to become king of Wessex. Little is known of Edith, her brother is believed to have been born about 806, and Edith was likely born about the same time. However this is by no means certain. We only know of Edith's existence from records of Polesworth Monastery where she became a nun and then latter became abbess. Monastery records state that : “sancta Editha sorore regis Athulphi” (holy Edith, sister of king Athulphus/Athululf) was a nun at the abbey, and "Egbrycht the king had on son…Arnulfe and a dowhtur…Edith”(Egbrycht the king had one son…Arnulfe[Athelwulf] and a daughter…Edith) who was made abbess. ------------------------------------ Foundation for Medieval Genealogy ECGBERHT, son of EALHMUND Under-King of Kent & his wife --- ([769/80]-4 Feb or [Jun] 839, bur Winchester Cathedral). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Egbert succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex" after the death of Beorhtric in 802, in a later passage describing him as Ecgberht as son of Ealhmund, and in another passage which setting out his complete ancestry from his son Æthelwulf King of Wessex[1466]. According to the Chronicle, Ecgberht was expelled from England in 789 by King Beorhtric after he unsuccessfully challenged Beorhtric's succession[1467]. It may be significant that "England" rather than "Wessex" is specified in this passage of the Chronicle. Ecgberht's father was king of Kent around this time, and it is possible that the expulsion was from Kent, maybe a consequence of his father being deposed as Kentish king. According to William of Malmesbury, Beorhtric was allied with Offa King of Mercia at this time. He explains that Ecgberht had sought refuge with King Offa after his expulsion by King Beorhtric, but that the latter bribed Offa for Ecgberht's surrender and was offered Offa's daughter in marriage in return[1468]. Ecgberht sought refuge at the Frankish court until [792][1469]. Under-King in Kent in [796][1470]. On Beorhtric's death, he established himself in 802 as ECGBERHT King of Wessex, rebelling against Mercian overlordship. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that he ravaged the Britons of Dumnonia (Cornwall) 815[1471]. He defeated Beornwulf King of Mercia in 825 at Ellendun [=Wroughton, Wiltshire], which marked the end of Mercian ascendancy. King Ecgberht immediately sent his son Æthelwulf with a large army into Kent, which submitted to him along with Surrey, Sussex and Essex. East Anglia, in revolt against Mercia, turned to Ecgberht for protection[1472]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Ecgberht conquered Mercia in 829[1473], taking the title rex Merciorum, from evidence provided by a limited number of coins[1474], but lost control of Mercia again in 830. He exacted tribute from Eanred King of Northumbria in 829. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that the first Danish raiders landed at Sheppey in 835 and King Ecgberht was defeated by Viking invaders at Carhampton in 836[1475], but defeated the Vikings at Hingston Down, Cornwall in 838[1476], which is probably when Cornwall was integrated into Wessex. "Ægberhtus rex occidentalium Saxonum" granted land at Canterbury to "Ciaba clericus", jointly with "Æthelwulfi regis filii mei", by charter dated 836[1477]. "Æthelwulf rex Cancie" was co-grantor of land in Kent with "Egberthus rex occident Saxonum pater meus" by charters dated [833/39] and 838 respectively[1478]. Despite his successes, he does not seem to have claimed overlordship over all the southern English or referred to himself as king of England. He is listed as eighth bretwalda in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle[1479], supplementing the original list given by Bede. William of Malmesbury records that King Ecgberht died "after a reign of thirty-seven years" and was buried at Winchester[1480]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Ecgberht died in 839[1481]. m ([789/92]) REDBURGA, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. According to Weir, she is said to have been "sister of the king of the Franks", who at the time was Charles I, later Emperor "Charlemagne", but her identity is uncertain[1482]. The primary source on which this is based has not been identified. If her origin was Frankish, King Ecgberht presumably married her during his exile at the Frankish court between [789/792]. King Ecgberht had two children: 1. ÆTHELWULF ([795/810]-13 Jan 858, bur Winchester). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names Æthelwulf as son of Ecgberht[1483]. He succeeded his father 839 as ÆTHELWULF King of Wessex. - see below. 2. EADGYTH (-Polesworth Abbey ----, bur Polesworth Abbey). A manuscript of Polesworth Monastery records that “sancta Editha sorore regis Athulphi” was a nun at the abbey[1484]. Another manuscript which narrates the foundation of Polesworth Monastery in more detail, but is stated in Dugdale’s Monasticon to date from 1640, records that “Egbrycht the king had on son…Arnulfe and a dowhtur…Edith”, and that the latter was made abbess[1485]. https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLAND,%20AngloSaxon%20&%20Danish%20Kings.htm#EcgberhtWessexA

- Also known as: Saint Eadgyth Of England
- Also known as: Saint Edith of Polesworth
- Title Of Nobility: Princess of Wessex
- LifeSketch: Edith was the daughter of King Edward the Elder and his first wife Ecgwynn. She was born about 898 in Wessex and had an older brother Æthelstan, King of England. She also had many younger half-siblings from her fathers additional marriages. She is believed to have married Sihtric, Viking King of York in 926, who died in 927. It is also believed by many that she is Saint Edith of Polesworth. Her name is also sometimes written as Eadgyth, Eadgifu and Origue. DO NOT CONFUSE HER WITH HER YOUNGER 1/2 SISTER EADGYTH/EDITH WHO MARRIED OTTO I, HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR Britain's Royal Families: The Complete Genealogy By Alison Weir, identifies her as the daughter of "King Edward, known as 'the Elder' and his first wife Egwina. The sister of King Athelstan " Names her as "St Edith" and says "She married Sihtric Coach, King of Northumbria (d 927), on 30 January, 925/6, at Tamworth, Statffordshire. After her widowhood, she became a nun at Polesworth Abbey, Warwickshire, in 927. That same year, she was transferred to Tamworth Abbey, Gloucestershire, where she was immediately elected Abbess. She died in c. 927. After her death, she was canonised, and her Feast Day in 15 July." The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle also records her marriage to Sitric in 926. Because of the way in which the calendar was then calculated January 30 925 is actually what we now call January 30 926. The year did not change then until March 25. So March 24th was then written as 925 but March 25th was 926. Therefore the dates January 1 through March 23th are often written as a double year, January 30 925/26. Some sources identify Edith as childless others state she is the likely mother of Amlaíb mac Sitric (also known as Olaf Sitricsson). If he was born after Sitric's marriage to Edith she is likely his mother. If born prior to 926 she is not. As his exact date of birth is not known with certainty, we do not know with certainty if Edith was or was not his mother.

- LifeSketch: Edmund (Eadmund) oldest born son of Alfred the Great, King of the Anglo-Saxons and his wife Ealswith. His exact date of birth and date of death are not known, only that he was the oldest son, he therefore was likely born between 869 but before 871. Some have surmised that he was a twin of Æthelflæd, however, as this was never recorded it is not likely. It is known that he died as an infant. Although Edmund in not named in many sources about Alfred's family he was identified by the most reliable source Asser. Asser was recruited by Alfred himself to be his court scholar and to write a biography of Alfred, he was a 1st hand witness of Alfred's life. This lends extra credence to the information he provides. ------------------------------------------ The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy says: EADMUND (-young). Asser names (in order) "Ethelfled the eldest…Edward…Ethelgiva…Ethelwitha and Ethelwerd besides those who died in their infancy one of whom was Edmund" as the children of King Alfred & his wife[1591]. While Asser does not specify where Edmund fits in the order of births, it is a fair assumption that he was the eldest son otherwise he may not have been deemed worthy of mention. According to Weir[1592], Edmund was crowned in the lifetime of his father, but it is assumed that this is based on a misreading of the charter of King Alfred dated 898 which was subscribed by "Eadweard rex"[1593]. ------------------------------------------ from 'The Life of King Alfred' by Asser page 37 "The sons and daughters whom he [Alfred] had by his wife above-mentioned were Æthelflæd, the eldest, after whom came Edward, then Æthelgivu, then Ælfthryth, and finally Æthelward - besides those who died in their infancy one of whom was Edmund"

- LifeSketch: Edward the Elder (c. 874 – 17 July 924) was King of the Anglo-Saxons from 899 until his death. He was the elder son of Alfred the Great and his wife Ealhswith. When Edward succeeded to the throne, he had to defeat a challenge from his cousin Æthelwold, who had a strong claim to the throne as the son of Alfred's elder brother and predecessor, Æthelred. Alfred had succeeded Æthelred as king of Wessex in 871, and almost faced defeat against the Danish Vikings until his decisive victory at the Battle of Edington in 878. After the battle, the Vikings still ruled Northumbria, East Anglia and eastern Mercia, leaving only Wessex and western Mercia under Anglo-Saxon control. In the early 880s Æthelred, Lord of the Mercians, the ruler of western Mercia, accepted Alfred's lordship and married his daughter Æthelflæd, and around 886 Alfred adopted the new title King of the Anglo-Saxons as the ruler of all Anglo-Saxons not subject to Danish rule. In 910 a Mercian and West Saxon army inflicted a decisive defeat on an invading Northumbrian army, ending the threat from the northern Vikings. In the 910s, Edward conquered Viking-ruled southern England in partnership with his sister Æthelflæd, who had succeeded as Lady of the Mercians following the death of her husband in 911. Historians dispute how far Mercia was dominated by Wessex during this period, and after Æthelflæd's death in June 918, her daughter Ælfwynn briefly became second Lady of the Mercians, but in December Edward took her into Wessex and imposed direct rule on Mercia. By the end of the 910s he ruled Wessex, Mercia and East Anglia, and only Northumbria remained under Viking rule. In 924 he faced a Mercian and Welsh revolt at Chester, and after putting it down he died at Farndon in Cheshire on 17 July 924. He was succeeded by his eldest son Æthelstan. Edward was admired by medieval chroniclers, and in the view of William of Malmesbury, he was "much inferior to his father in the cultivation of letters" but "incomparably more glorious in the power of his rule". He was largely ignored by modern historians until the 1990s, and Nick Higham described him as "perhaps the most neglected of English kings", partly because few primary sources for his reign survive. His reputation rose in the late twentieth century and he is now seen as destroying the power of the Vikings in southern England while laying the foundations for a south-centered united English kingdom. Edward had about fourteen children from three marriages. (I) He first married Ecgwynn around 893. Their children were: 1. Alfred, died circa 901 2. Æthelstan, King of England 924–939 3. A daughter, perhaps called Edith, married Sihtric, Viking King of York in 926, who died in 927. Possibly Saint Edith of Polesworth (II) In c. 900, Edward married Ælfflæd, daughter of Ealdorman Æthelhelm, probably of Wiltshire. Their children were: 4. Ælfweard, died August 924, a month after his father; possibly King of Wessex for that month 5. Edwin, drowned at sea 933 6. Æthelhild, lay sister at Wilton Abbey 7. Eadgifu (died in or after 951), married Charles the Simple, King of the West Franks, c. 918 8. Eadflæd, nun at Wilton Abbey 9. Eadhild, married Hugh the Great, Duke of the Franks in 926 10. Eadgyth (died 946), in 929/30 married Otto I, future King of the East Franks, and (after Eadgyth's death) Holy Roman Emperor 11. Ælfgifu, married "a prince near the Alps", perhaps Louis, brother of King Rudolph II of Burgundy (III) Edward married for a third time, about 919, Eadgifu, the daughter of Sigehelm, Ealdorman of Kent. Their children were: 12. Edmund I, King of England 939–946 13. Eadred, King of England 946–955 14. Eadburh (died c. 952), Benedictine nun at Nunnaminster, Winchester, and saint 15.

- DROWNED UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES: In 933 Edwin drowned in the English Chanel. Some sources say his ship was sunk in a storm, others claim he was ordered drowned by his brother King Æthelstan, or sent to sea in a leaky boat, without oars, food, or water, and threw himself into the sea in despair and drowned., 933, English Channel, At Sea
- BODY ACCOMPANIED TO ST-OMER BY COUNT ADELOLF: After being recovered from the sea, Edwin's body was taken to the Abbey of Saint Bertin in Saint-Omer, France for burial, by his French cousin Count Adelolf of Boulogne., 933, Saint Bertin Abbey, Saint-Omer, France
- BATH MONASTERY GRANTED IN HIS HONOUR: King Edmund granted the monks of Saint Bertin a monastery at Bath in 944 in gratitude for their care of (his half-brother) Edwin's remains., 944, Bath, Somerset, England
- LifeSketch: Edwin was the younger son of King Edward the Elder and Ælfflæd, his second wife. He drowned at sea in circumstances which are unclear. Edward the Elder died in 924, leaving five sons by three marriages. Of these, Edmund and Eadred were infants and thus excluded from the succession. Edward's careful work of expansion was undone when the Mercians chose Edward's oldest son Æthelstan—probably raised in Mercia at the court of Æthelflæd—to be their king while the West Saxons picked Ælfweard, elder son of Edward's second wife Ælfflæd, who was perhaps Edward's own choice as successor. Ælfweard's "sudden and convenient"death followed 16 days after that of his father, but Æthelstan appears not to have been recognised as king by the West Saxons until a year after his father's death, suggesting that there was considerable resistance to him and perhaps also support for Edwin. The Annales Bertiniani say that the monks of Saint Bertin were granted a monastery at Bath by "King Æthelstan" in 944—in fact King Edmund, Æthelstan having died in 939—in gratitude for their care of Edwin's remains.

- Also known as: Ina of Wessex
- Also known as: Ine King of Wessex
- Also known as: Ini
- Also known as: Inus
- ABDICATED THRONE AND PILGRIMAGE TO ROME: King Ine abdicated the throne of Wessex in 726 for the express purpose of making a pilgrimage to Rome. Ine and his wife Æthelburh went to Rome and finished their lives there., 726, Wessex
- ESTABLISHED SCHOLA SAXONUM IN ROME: Ine and Ethelburh established a 'Saxon School' the Schola Saxonum in Rome in 727, a charitable institution for West Saxon pilgrims., 727, Rome, Roma, Lazio, Italy
- LifeSketch: Ine of Wessex, also Ini or Ina, was King of Wessex from 689 to 726. Ine was the son of Cenred, born about 670 and had 3 siblings: brother Ingild and sisters Cuthburh and Cwenburg. The name of Ine's mother is not known. At Ine's accession, his kingdom dominated much of southern England. However, he was unable to retain the territorial gains of his predecessor, Cædwalla, who had expanded West Saxon territory substantially. By the end of Ine's reign, the kingdoms of Kent, Sussex, and Essex were no longer under West Saxon sway; however, Ine maintained control of what is now Hampshire, and consolidated and extended Wessex's territory in the western peninsula. Ine is noted for his code of laws (leges Inae or "laws of Ine"), which he issued in about 694. These laws were the first issued by an Anglo-Saxon king outside Kent. They shed much light on the history of Anglo-Saxon society, and reveal Ine's Christian convictions. Trade increased significantly during Ine's reign, with the town of Hamwic (now Southampton) becoming prominent. It was probably during Ine's reign that the West Saxons began to mint coins, though none have been found that bear his name. It is not known exactly when they married but Ine married Æthelburg of Wessex sometime before 722. For the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells us that in 722, Æthelburg burned down the city of Taunton, a city built by Ine. Æthelburg's exact motivations for burning down the city are not clear, but she was either trying to find the rebel Ealdbert or she was trying to prevent Taunton from being taken by the rebels. There are no records of Ine and Æthelburg having any children and in 726 when Ine abdicated the throne, he left no clear heir. Ine abdicated the throne of Wessex in 726 in order to travel, with his wife Æthelburg, to Rome; his predecessor, Cædwalla, had also abdicated to go to Rome and was baptized there by the pope. A pilgrimage to Rome was thought to aid one's chance of a welcome in heaven, and according to Bede, many people went to Rome at this time for this reason: "... both noble and simple, layfolk and clergy, men and women alike." With no obvious heir, according to Bede, Ine left his kingdom to "younger men". He was succeeded by Æthelheard. Ine is believed to have founded the Schola Saxonum in the Borgo district of Rome about 727. The Schola Saxonum took its name from the militias of Saxons who served in Rome, but it eventually developed into a hostelry for English visitors to the city. Ine and Æthelburg both died whole in Rome, about 728. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ine_of_Wessex

\-Unnamed WIFE OF CENRED
- Father: Oslac father of OSBURH
- Mother: Unknown Spouse of OSLAC
- Birth: ABT 810, Wantage, Wessex
- Also known as: Osburh Oslacsdotter
- Also known as: Osburh of Wight
- Also known as: Osburga
- Also known as: Osburh Of Wessex
- Also known as: Osburh
- Also known as: Osburg Wessex
- LifeSketch: Osburh, (also known as Osburgha, Osburga Oslacsdotter) was the first wife of King Æthelwulf of Wessex and mother of Alfred the Great. Alfred's biographer, Asser, described her as "a most religious woman, noble in character and noble by birth" Osburh's existence is known only from Asser's Life of King Alfred. She is not named as witness to any charters, nor is her death reported in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. So far as is known, she was the mother of all Æthelwulf's children: - Æthelstan - Æthelbald - Æthelberht - Æthelred - Alfred the Great - Æthelswith, wife of King Burgred of Mercia. Osburh was the daughter of Oslac, the name of her mother is not known. Her father Oslac was King Æthelwulf's pincerna (butler). This was not comparable to a modern-day butler, the Pincerna was an important figure in the royal court and household similar to a High Steward. Oslac is described as a descendant of King Cerdic's Jutish nephews, Stuf and Wihtgar, who conquered the Isle of Wight. Osburh is best known from Asser's story about a book of Saxon songs, which she showed to Alfred and his brothers, offering to give the book to whoever could first memorize it, a challenge which Alfred took up and won. This exhibits high-status ninth-century women's interest in books and their role in educating their children While Osburh was certainly the wife of the King she did not hold the title of Queen. In accordance with ninth century West Saxon custom, she was not given the title of queen. According to King Alfred, this was because of the infamous conduct of a former queen of Wessex called Eadburh, who had accidentally poisoned her husband. This was one of the points of contention between Osburh's sons and her husband's 2nd wife Judith of France. As part of their marriage agreement, Judith's father insisted Judith be anointed Queen before they even left France. Osburh is believed to have died before 856, when her husband King Æthelwulf married Judith of France. It has been argued that Osburh was set aside, however this is unlikely considering her longterm relationship with Æthelwulf and the high esteem she held within the kingdom.

- Birth: ABT 864, England
- LifeSketch: Wife of Prince Æthelhelm of Wessex, NAME UNKNOWN Possibly the mother of: - Ealdorman Æthelfrith of Mercia No sources appear to identify the wife of Prince Æthelhelm of Wessex. In fact no sources identify him as having married. However, it is now believed by some that he was the father of Ealdorman Æthelfrith of Mercia who was father of Æthelstan Halfking. Some private family trees provide him with various wives, but this is not supported by any known sources. The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy identifies Æthelhelm as the father of a possible son: Æthelfrith. However even FMG states the relationship is doubtful. Æthelfrith was certainly a real person, he is named in charters, but nothing from that time period specifically identifies him as Æthelhelm's son. The historian Æthelweard is also sometimes incorrectly attributed as a son of Prince Æthelhelm. While Æthelweard is believed to be descended from Æthelhelm, he is believed to be more likely his great grandson, NOT HIS IMMEDIATE SON.

- LifeSketch: Wife of Ceawlin, King of Wessex, and mother of his son Cuthwine, born in 565. Unfortunately, no sources identify her name, therefore, her name and heritage are not known. King Ceawlin was deposed in 592, by his nephew Ceol. King Ceawlin's entire family was driven out of Wessex into exile. It is not known if Ceawlin's wife was alive for this event, she may have died shortly after the birth of Cuthwine (in 565) as there are no other known children of Ceawlin.

- Also known as: Wulfethryd Regina
- Also known as: Wulfrida
- WITNESSED CHARTER IN WHICH SHE WAS TITLED QUEEN: In 868 Wulfthryth witnessed a charter in which she has the title of regina ("queen"). The charter appears in the 'Codex Wintoniensis'., 868, Dorchester, Dorset, England
- Affiliation: House of Wessex
- LifeSketch: Wulfthryth (fl. 868) was the wife of King Æthelred I of Wessex and was herself Queen of Wessex. There is only one record of Wulfthryth, in 868 she witnessed a charter and was recorded as 'Wulfthryth regina'. This was highly unusual, kings wives of this time were regarded in low status and were not usually given the title of 'Queen'. The charter appears in the Codex Wintoniensis. Æthelred succeeded to the throne in 865 upon his older brother, Æthelberht's, death. He and Wulfthryth likely married about this same time or slightly before, the exact date of their marriage is unknown. Together Wulfthryth and Æthelred had 2 sons: - Æthelhelm (c. 865 – c. 890) - Æthelwold (died 902) Æthelhelm was the oldest and is believed to have been born about 865, which places his parents marriage at 865 or before. We know that the marriage was not much before 865 for Æthelred died in 871 and both boys were too young to succeed their father. Æthelred's younger brother Alfred succeeded to the throne instead and his own son Edward after him. Æthelhelm died before Alfred, and Æthelwold unsuccessfully disputed the throne with Edward the Elder after Alfred's death in 899. Little else is known of Wulfthryth. She may have been a daughter of Wulfhere, Ealdorman of Wiltshire. Wulfhere forfeited his lands after being charged with deserting King Alfred for the Danes in about 878. This is believed to have possibly been an attempt by Wolfhere to secure Viking support for his elder grandson Æthelhelm's claim to the throne against Alfred. It is not known when Wulfthryth died. Did she die shortly after the birth of her 2nd son? Did she survive her husband? Did she and the boys continue to live at court after Æthelred's death? Perhaps they went to live with Wulfthryth's father, Wulfhere, at least until 878, and this is what inspired him to rebel against King Alfred. Or Wulfthryth may have been given use of an estate, perhaps one of those endowed to her son. She may have even retired to a convent as many other widowed royal wives of the time did. The fact is nothing more is recorded about her so we simply do not know.

- LifeSketch: Hermann Billung perhaps was married twice: According to the chronicles of St Michael's Abbey in Lüneburg, a Countess Oda died on 15 March in an unknown year after 973, the Xanten annals noted the death of one Ode, spouse of Duke Hermann, on the same day. She probably was related to the royal Ottonian dynasty; Henry the Fowler's grandmother was named Oda (herself a member of the Billung dynasty), which was also the name of his sister. A second wife Hildesuith or Hildegard of Westerburg is mentioned in the chronicles, but her relation to Oda remains unclear. Hildegard was also the name of the spouse of Hermann's son Bernard. The name of Hermann's granddaughter Oda of Meissen suggests that Oda was the mother of his children.

- LifeSketch: Edward Whalley (c. 1607–c. 1675) was an English military leader during the English Civil War, and was one of the regicides who signed the death warrant of King Charles I of England. The exact dates of his birth and death are unknown. He was the second son of Richard Whalley, who had been High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 1595, by his second wife Frances Cromwell, an aunt of Oliver Cromwell. His great-grandfather was Richard Whalley (1499–1583), a prominent adherent of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, and a Member of Parliament. Edward Whalley is said to have started out as a woolen-draper. During the 1620s and 1630s, he was a farmer in Chadwell St Mary, Essex but this farming venture turned out to be unsuccessful. In 1639, Whalley was forced to flee to Scotland to escape from his creditors leaving his wife behind him.[1] On the outbreak of the English Civil War, he took up arms for Parliament and James Temple obtained a position for him as a cornet in the cavalry troop commanded by Temple’s cousin John Fiennes (the son of his uncle, Viscount Saye and Sele).[2] He fought at the Battle of Edgehill and later became major of Cromwell's regiment of horse. He distinguished himself in the field and his conduct at Gainsborough in 1643 was especially praised by Cromwell. He fought at the Battle of Marston Moor, commanded one of Cromwell's two regiments of cavalry at the Battle of Naseby and at the capture of Bristol, was then sent into Oxfordshire, took Banbury, and was besieging Worcester when he was superseded, according to Richard Baxter, the chaplain of his regiment, because of his religious orthodoxy.[3][4] Regimental officer[edit] Edward supported his regiment in their grievances against Parliament in 1647. When the King was seized by the army, he was entrusted to the keeping of Whalley and his regiment at Hampton Court Palace. Whalley refused to remove Charles's chaplains, and treated his captive with courtesy, so much so that Charles later wrote him a letter of thanks. In the Second English Civil War, Whalley again distinguished himself as a soldier. He was chosen to be a Commissioner (Judge) at the trial of Charles I and was the fourth to sign the King's death-warrant, immediately after Cromwell. The King was executed in London on 30 January 1649. [3][4] In April 1649, soldiers in his regiment took part in the Bishopsgate mutiny. They refused to go on the Irish expedition until the Levellers' political demands were met and they received back pay. They were ordered out of London and when they refused to go, fifteen soldiers were arrested and court-martialed, of whom six were sentenced to death. Of this six, five were subsequently pardoned while Robert Lockyer, a former Levellers agitator, was shot.[4] Whalley took part in Cromwell's Scottish expedition, was wounded at the Battle of Dunbar, and in the autumn of 1650 was active in dealing with the situation in the north. The following year, he took part in Cromwell's pursuit of Charles II and took part in the Battle of Worcester. He followed and supported Cromwell in his political career, presented the army petition to parliament (August 1652), approved of the protectorate, and represented Nottinghamshire in the parliaments of 1654 and 1656, taking an active part in the prosecution of the Quaker James Naylor. He was one of the administrative major-generals, responsible for Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby, Warwick and Leicester. He supported the "Petition and Advice," except as regards the proposed assumption of the royal title by Oliver Cromwell, and became a member of the newly constituted House of Lords in December 1657.[3][4] On Oliver Cromwell's death, at which he was present, he in vain gave his support to Richard Cromwell; his regiment refused to obey his orders, and the Long Parliament dismissed him from his command as a representative of the army. In November 1659 he undertook an unsuccessful mission to Scotland to arrange terms with George Monck.[3][4] Withdrawal to the colonies[edit] Judges' Cave, where Goffe and Whalley hid At the Restoration, Whalley, with his son-in-law, Major-General William Goffe, escaped to North America, and landed at Boston on 27 July 1660, where they were well received by Governor John Endecott and visited by the principal persons of the town.[4] They went about quite openly, and chose to live in Cambridge, about 2 miles (3.2 km) from Boston.[5] During this period the English Parliament was debating the content of the Indemnity and Oblivion Act and intelligence that reached the colony that all but seven of the regicides would be pardoned. Knowledge of final contents of the act did not reach the colony until November 1660, and for several months opinion among the leaders of the colony on what to do with Whalley and Goffe was divided.[6] By February 1661, the Governor seems to have had second thoughts about welcoming the regicides so warmly and on the 22nd summoned a court of assistants to discuss their arrest, but the court did not agree to such action. Whalley and Goffe decided they were no longer safe in Cambridge and left on the 26 February. Within a few days (on 8 March [6]), orders arrived, via Barbados, from England for their arrest.[5] The two moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where John Dixwell, also condemned as a regicide, was living under the assumed name of James Davids.[7][8] Arriving on 7 March 1661, they lodged with John Davenport, the local minister.[6] News of the orders for their arrest arrived in New Haven, so Whalley and Goffe used a subterfuge to throw off any pursuit. They made a show of leaving and going to Milford, where they made sure they were seen, but that night they returned in secret to New Haven. They again lodged secretly with Davenport and a number of other sympathisers until the 13th of May, when they resorted to hiding in some woodland and a cave on Providence-Hill (spending some nights in a nearby house). Providence-Hill is now known as West Rock, and today the cave is called Judges Cave. In August they moved into a house in Milford belonging to Mr. Tomkins, another sympathiser, and remained there for two years. In 1664 they were forced to return to the cave when the King's commissioners arrived in Boston, but Indians discovered the cave while the two were absent, which forced them to move further away from Boston. On the 13th of October, travelling only by night, they set off for Hadley, about one hundred miles away in Massachusetts, where the minister, John Russell, had arranged for them to live with him. They remained there undiscovered for fifteen or sixteen years, receiving money from their wives in England and presents from a few supporters who knew where they were in order to pay their host. In the first few years they were in constant fear of discovery, and were much relieved to read in the newspapers that they were thought to have died in Switzerland while living in exile with other regicides.[9][a] Every attempt by the English government to procure Whalley or Goffe's arrest failed. Whalley was alive but in poor health in 1674, and probably did not live long afterwards.[4] Family[edit] He married first on 7 February 1626 at St Dunstan's Church, Stepney, to Judith Duffell (or Duffield) of Rochester, Kent, by whom, besides other children, he had a son John and a daughter Frances (who married William Goffe, another regicide). His second marriage was to Mary Middleton, sister of Sir George Middleton, by whom he had two sons, Henry and Edward.[4] Legacy[edit] Whalley was commemorated with a New Haven street named for him, as were the other two Regicides who found refuge in New Haven: Whalley Avenue, Dixwell Avenue, and Goffe Street diverge from a complex of intersections lying at the northwest end of Broadway.

DOCUMENT 2 Southern Campaign American Revolution Pension Statements & Rosters Pension application of George Whaley S40679 fn9VA Transcribed by Will Graves 9/4/11 [Methodology: Spelling, punctuation and/or grammar have been corrected in some instances for ease of reading and to facilitate searches of the database. Where the meaning is not compromised by adhering to the spelling, punctuation or grammar, no change has been made. Corrections or additional notes have been inserted within brackets or footnotes. Blanks appearing in the transcripts reflect blanks in the original. A bracketed question mark indicates that the word or words preceding it represent(s) a guess by me. Only materials pertinent to the military service of the veteran and to contemporary events have been transcribed. Affidavits that provide additional information on these events are included and genealogical information is abstracted, while standard, 'boilerplate' affidavits and attestations related solely to the application, and later nineteenth and twentieth century research requests for information have been omitted. I use speech recognition software to make all my transcriptions. Such software misinterprets my southern accent with unfortunate regularity and my poor proofreading fails to catch all misinterpretations. Also, dates or numbers which the software treats as numerals rather than words are not corrected: for example, the software transcribes "the eighth of June one thousand eighty six" as "the 8th of June 1786."
