Edward I, the Elder
(900-924 AD)
.......................................
Son of Alfred the Great, Edward immediately succeeded his father to the throne. His main achievement was to use the military platform created by his father to bring back, under English control, the whole of the Danelaw, south of the Humber River.

EDWARD 'THE ELDER' (r. 899-924)
Well-trained by Alfred, his son Edward 'the Elder' (reigned 899-924) was a bold soldier who defeated the Danes in Northumbria at Tettenhall in 910 and was acknowledged by the Viking kingdom of York. The kings of Strathclyde and the Scots submitted to Edward in 921. By military success and patient planning, Edward spread English influence and control. Much of this was due to his alliance with his formidable sister Aethelflaed, who was married to the ruler of Mercia and seems to have governed that kingdom after her husband's death.
Edward was able to establish an administration for the kingdom of England, whilst obtaining the allegiance of Danes, Scots and Britons. Edward died in 924, and he was buried in the New Minster which he had had completed at Winchester. Edward was twice married, but it is possible that his eldest son Athelstan was the son of a mistress.

King of Wessex 800-839

King of Essex 823-839
King of Sussex 823-839
Egbert was the first of the West Saxon kings to conquer nearly all of Britian under his rule, with the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms as satelites of Wessex, and is often considered the first king of England. After spending much time in the court of the Frankish Emperor Charlemagne, Egbert returned to Wessex in 800 to take the throne. In 813, he warred very successfully against the Welsh of Cornwall. In 823, Egbert defeated the Welsh, defeated King Bernwulf of Mercia, conquered Kent, conquered Essex, and conquered Sussex and Surrey. The East Anglians, also, sued for peace and protection from Bernwulf of Mercia, who was slain that year. For only the year of 827, Egbert even ruled Mercia. In 839, Egbert died, and Wessex passed to Æthelwulf and the satelites passed to Æthelwulf's son Athelstan.
