E. FAMILY of INE KING of WESSEX 688-728 1. CENRED . The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names Cenred as son of Ceolwald[1367]. Under-King in Wessex, possibly in Dorset. He was one of the chief advisers in putting together his son's code of law in 694. Cenred had four children: a) INE (-Rome [728]). Ine was allegedly descended from Cuthwine, supposedly son of Ceawlin King of Wessex: manuscript A of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ine succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex" in 688 and ruled thirty-seven years, adding that he was "the son of Cenred, son of Ceolwald…brother of Cynegils…sons of Cuthwine, son of Ceawlin, son of Cynric, son of Cerdic"[1368]. However, a later source states that Ine was descended from Cuthbald, supposedly brother of King Cynegils: according to William of Malmesbury, King Ine was the great nephew of King Cynegils, descended from the king's brother Cuthbald[1369]. He succeeded King Cædwalla in 688 as INE King of Wessex. "Ini rex Westsaxonum" granted land in Berkshire to abbot Hean by charter dated 687 which was subscribed by "Ethelridi regis Merciorum"[1370]. According to Stenton, "Ine was a statesman with ideas beyond the grasp of any of his predecessors"[1371]. The conquest of Devon was probably completed during his reign, starting with the establishment of a monastery at Exeter in 690 or shortly before. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 694 "the Kentishmen came to terms with Ine" and gave him "thirty thousands" as compensation for the death of Mul[1372]. Ine promulgated a new code of laws in 694, more detailed than any of its predecessors, including the establishment of the annual payment of church-scot by all free men, which was paid in kind at Martinmas at a rate in proportion to land held and generally consisted of a number of measures of grain[1373]. The bishopric of Shelborne was established in 705, with Aldhelm (abbot of Malmesbury) as its first bishop, its diocese being the more recently conquered lands of Dorset, Somerset and Devon[1374]. The first West Saxon synods met under his presidency. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 715 "Ine and Ceolred" [King of Mercia" fought "at Adam’s grave"[1375]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 721 "Ine killed Cynewulf"[1376]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Ine fought "against the South Saxons" in 722, and in 725 when he killed "Ealdberht" there[1377]. Bede records that "Ini", successor of Cædwalla, reigned for 38 years before abdicating and leaving for Rome[1378]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ine went to Rome" in 728[1379]. m ÆTHELBURG, sister of ÆTHELHEARD, later King of Wessex, maybe a descendant of Cynebald (-Rome [728]). The primary source which records that she was sister of Æthelheard has not yet been identified. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "queen Æthelburh destroyed Taunton, which Ine had built" in 722[1380]. William of Malmesbury records that she encouraged her husband to undertake his pilgrimage to Rome in 726 and accompanied him[1381]. b) INGELD (-718). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ingeld brother of Ine" died in 718[1382]. According to the generally accepted ancestry of the 9th century kings of Wessex, Ingeld was the direct ancestor of Ealhmund King of Kent, who wasthe father of Ecgberht King of Wessex. This supposed ancestry is set out in a passage of the Chronicle dated 855, which lists the ancestors of Æthelwulf King of Wessex, and states that Ealhmund was "son of Eafa, son of Eoppa, son of Ingeld…brother of Ine king of Wessex", adds their alleged direct line of ancestors back to Cerdic, first King of Wessex, Cerdic’s mythical ancestry back to Woden, and even Woden’s alleged descent from Noah and "Adam the first man"[1383]. This is clearly one of the dubious lines of descent of the kings of Wessex which are discussed in the introduction to the Chapter. c) CWENBURH. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Cwenburh and Cuthburh" as sisters of Ingeld and Ine[1384]. She and her sister founded Wimborne Abbey, where Cwenburh became Abbess. d) CUTHBURH. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Cwenburh and Cuthburh" as sisters of Ingeld and Ine, adding that Cuthburh married Aldfrith king of Northumbria "but they parted during their lifetime" and founded the monastic community at Wimborne[1385]. After her repudiation, she became a nun at Barking. She was canonised, her feast day is 3 Sep[1386]. m (separated before [696/97][1387]) as his first wife, ALDFRITH King of Northumbria, illegitimate son of OSWIU King of Northumbria & his mistress --- ([650]-Driffield 14 Dec 704).
