Coenwulf, King of Mercia (796-821), son of the leading Merican noble Cuthberht and a distant kinsman of Offa, succeeded to the throne when Offa’s only son Ecgfrith prematurely died after a reign of only six months. He reasserted Mercian control over Kent and restored Archbishop Aethelheard to his see of Canterbury.
