 General Notes:
Known as the first King of All England, he was forced into exile at the court of
Charlemagne, by the powerful Offa, King of Mercia. Egbert returned to England in 802
and was recognized as king of Wessex. He defeated the rival Mercians at the battle of
Ellendun in 825. In 829, the Northumbrians accepted his overlordship and he was
proclaimed "Bretwalda" or sole ruler of Britain.
Egbert married Redburh Queen Of Wessex. (Redburh Queen Of Wessex was born in 788 in Wessex, England.)
