When Ecgbert becomes King of Wessex in 802, Wessex begins to supplant Mercia as the dominate kingdom in England. In 825, this is completed as Ecgbert defeats Mercia at the Battle of Ellandun. By 827, Egbert has become, in essense, the king of all England. In 836, he defeats an invasion by the Danes at Hingston Down.
--------
Known as the first King of All England, he was forced into a period of 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 over-lordship and he was proclaimed "Bretwalda" or sole ruler of Britain.
