Aethelwulf (839-858), King of Wessex and son of Ecgberht, sealed a marriage alliance with King Burgred of Mercia, which later proved decisive in checking the Viking Great Army. A pious man, he not only consolidated royal power, but also managed to make a pilgrimage to Rome in 855-856. He willed to his sons Æthelbald (858-860) and Æthelberht (860-865) the Kingdoms of Wessex and Kent, respectively. The realms were united on Aethelbald’s premature death. Descripción
