Notes


Two brothers, parents not known: 1. WIGLAF (-839, bur Repton). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that he succeeded in 827[699] as WIGLAF King of Mercia. Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the accession of "Wichtlaf duke of the Wiccii"[700]. Ecgberht King of Wessex conquered Mercia and all its dependencies in 829[701], taking the title rex Merciorum, but in 830 lost control again to Wiglaf[702], who appears to have ruled without any Wessex overlordship for the rest of his life. "Uuiglaf rex Merciorum" grantedland at Botwell, Middlesex to archbishop Wulfred by charter dated 831[703]. Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the death of King Wiglaf "in the thirteenth year of his reign" and his burial at Repton monastery[704]. m CYNETHRYTH, daughter of ---. "Cynethryth regina" subscribed a charter of "Uuiglaf rex Merciorum" dated 831703. Wiglaf & his wife had one child: a) WIGMUND (-before 839, bur Croyland Abbey). William of Malmesbury names "Wimund son of Wihtlaf king of the Mercians"[705]. "Wigmund filius regis" subscribed a charter of "Wiglaf rex Merciorum" dated 831[706]. According to Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland, Wigmund predeceased his father and was buried at Croyland abbey[707]. m (before 827) ÆLFFLÆD of Mercia, daughter of CEOLWULF King of Mercia & his wife --- (-[839/40], bur Croyland Abbey). Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the accession of "Wichtlaf duke of the Wiccii whose son Wymund had married Alfleda, the daughter of Ceolwulph the former king"[708], dating her marriage to before her father-in-law's accession. William of Malmesbury names "Elhfleda, daughter of Chelwulf" as the mother of "Wistan"[709]. According to Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland, Ælflæd died soon after her husband[710]. Wigmund & his wife had one child: i) WIGSTAN (-killed Wistanstowe 25 May 849, bur Repton, later transferred to Evesham). William of Malmesbury names "Wistan" as son of "Wimund son of Wihtlaf king of the Mercians" & his wife[711]. Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that "Berfert his son [Beorhtwulf's]" killed "his kinsman the holy Wistan, son of Wimund, the son of king Wichtlaf and of Alfleda the daughter of Ceolwulph"[712]. Roger of Wendover records that "Bertferthus regis Merciorum filius…Berthwlfi" killed "cognatum suum sanctum Wlstanum…nepos duorum regum de regnum Merciorum" in 849 "in vigilia Pentecostes", adding that Wigstan was buried "ad monasterio…Rependuna…in mausoleo avi sui regis Wilafi"[713]. According to William of Malmesbury, he was murdered byBeorhtfrith because he had opposed Beorhtfrith's plan to marry his widowed mother[714], but this appears to be inaccurate if it is correct, as stated above, that Wigstan's mother died soon after his father. Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that Wigstan was buried at Repton, but that his body was later transferred to Evesham[715]. 2. BEORHTWULF (-852). Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records the accession of "his brother Bertulph" after the death of King Wiglaf, as tributary king of Æthelwulf King of Wessex[716]. His name suggests a relationship with Beorhtrich King of Wessex. He succeeded his brother in 839 as BEORHTWULF King of Mercia. "Beorhtwulf rex Merciorum" granted land in Worcestershire to Heahbert bishop of Worcester under two charters dated 840[717]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that he was driven to flight by a large Danish army in 851[718]. Roger of Wendover records the death in 852 of "Merciorum rex Bertulfus"[719]. m SAETHRYTH, daughter of ---. "Sethrith/Saethryth regina" subscribed two charters of "Beorhtwulf rex Merciorum" dated 840717. Florence of Worcester’s genealogies name "Sæthryth" as wife of "Beorhtwlfus"[720].

Ingulph's Chronicle of the Abbey of Croyland records that "Berfert his son [Beorhtwulf's]" killed "his kinsman the holy Wistan, son of Wimund, the son of king Wichtlaf and of Alfleda the daughter of Ceolwulph"[722]. Florence of Worcester’s genealogies record that "Berhtferthum", son of "Beorhtwlfus…[et] Sæthryth regina" killed "sanctum Wistanum"[723]. Roger of Wendover records that "Bertferthus regis Merciorum filius…Berthwlfi" killed "cognatum suum sanctum Wlstanum…nepos duorum regum de regnum Merciorum" in 849 "in vigilia Pentecostes"[724].
