Notes |
- Reigned 802-839.
In 800 at the decease of King Brithric, Egbert was called by the voice of
his countrymen to assume the Government of Wessex, and he subsequently
succeeded in reducing all the Kingdoms of the Heptarchy under his sway.
His reign, a long and glorious one, is memorable for the great victories
he achieved over the Danes.
