From BRITAIN'S KINGS AND QUEENS By Sir George Bellow Kvoc
Ethelwulf, son of King Egbert, was a man inclined to piety and mildness, and for a time Bishop of Winchester. He came to the throne an experienced ruler, for his father had made him 'sub-king' of Kent nine years before. Though he had such a promising training we know little of his actual reign. Most of his time seems to have been spent in fighting the Danes, who occupied the north and east parts of England; and two at least of his victories are recorded; one at Oakley and another at sea. In 855 Ethelwulf took his youngest son Alfred (later to be called the Great) on a pilgrimage to Rome. On the return journey he made a profitable alliance by marrying Charlemagne's grand-daughter Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald, King of France and Emperor of the Romans. On his arrival in England with his thirteen-year old bride, he found that his son, Ethelbald, had usurped his throne, but, rather than cause a civil war, he was content to take second place, reverting; to his former kingdom of Kent. Two years later, in 858, he died.
William Seymour, SOVEREIGN LEGACY: An Historical Guide to the British Monarchy, p. 19: "... he maintained the supremacy of Wessex and had his successes against the Danes, notably at a battle near Basingstoke in 851, where he 'inflicted the greatest slaughter upon the heathen host that ever we have heard tell of up to the present day.' "
Æthelwulf married Osburga (Osburh) on 1 Oct 846 in England. Osburga (daughter of Chief Butler of Wessex Oslac) was born about 810 in Wessex, England; died after 876. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
