Note
Reigned 839-856 (abdicated). Under-king of Kent 825-839 and 856-858. Renown for his military prowess, he reputedly defeated 350 viking ships (851). He reduced taxation, endowed the Church, made lay lands inheritable, and provided systems of poor relief. Aethelwulf, also spelled Ethelwulf (died 858), Anglo-Saxon king in England, the father of King Alfred the Great. King of the West Saxons, succeeded his father, Egbert, in A.D. 839. Aelthelwulf's reign was chiefly occupied with struggles against the Danes. The son of the great West Saxon king Egbert (ruled 802-839), Aethelwulf ascended the throne four years after the Danes had begun large-scale raids on the English coast. In 851 he scored a major victory over a large Danish army at a place called Aclea in Surrey.  As ruler of the West Saxons from 839 to 856, he allied his kingdom of Wessex with Mercia and thereby withstood invasions by Danish Vikings. After the king's defeat 843-844, the Somerset and Dorset levies won a victory at the mouth of the Parret (circa 850). In 851 Ceorl, with the men of Devon, defeated the Danes at Wigganburg, and Aethelstan of Kent was victorious at Sandwich; despite this the Danes wintered in England that year for the first time. In 851 also Aethelwulf and Aethelbald won their great victory at Aclea, probably the modern Ockley. In 853 Aelthelwulf subdued the North Welsh, in answer to the appeal of Burgred of Mercia, and gave him his daughter Aethelswith in marriage. The year 855 is the date of the Donation of Aethelwulf and of his journey to Rome with Alfred. On his way home he married Judith, daughter of Charles the Bald, King of the West Franks. Aethelwulf was deposed by a rival faction upon his return from a pilgrimage to Rome in 856, but he continued to rule Kent and several other eastern provinces until his death. In addition to Alfred the Great (ruled 871-899), three of Aethelwulf's four other sons became kings of Wessex. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1996, Aethelwulf].

Excerpt from the Anglo Saxon Chronicle:

AD 855. In this year heathen men (the Vikings) first took up their quarters over the winter in Sheppey. And in the same year king Æthelwulf chartered the tenth part of his land over all his kingdom, for the glory
of God and his own eternal salvation: and in the same year went to Rome with great pomp, and dwelt there twelve months, and then returned home; and Charles, kin of the Franks, then gave him his daughter for queen; and after that he came to his people, and they were rejoiced thereat; and two
years after he came from France, he died, and his body lies at Winchester, and he reigned 18 years and a half. And Æthelwulf was son of Egbert, Egbert of Ealhmund, Ealhmund of Eafa, Eafa of Eoppa, Eoppa of
Ingild; Ingild was the brother of Ine, king of the West Saxons, who held the kingdom thirty-seven winters, and afterwards went to St. Peter's, and there gave up his life. And they were the sons of Cenred, Cenred of Ceowald, Ceowald of Cutha, Cutha of Cuthwine, Cuthwine of Ceawlin, Ceawlin of Cynric, Cynric of Cerdic, Cerdic of Elesa, Elesa of Esla, Esla of Giwis, Giwis of Wig, Wig of Freawine, Freawine of Frithogar, Frithogar of Brond, Brond of Baldag, Baldag of Woden, Woden of Frithuwald, Frithuwald of Frealaf, Frealaf of Frithowulf, Frithowulf of Finn, Finn of Godwulf, Godwulf of Geat, Geat of Tatwa, Tatwa of Beaw, Beaw of Sceldwa, Sceldwa of Heremod, Heremod of Itermon, Itermon of Hathra, Hathra of

And then Æthelwulf's two sons succeeded to the kingdom, Æthelbald to the kingdom of the West Saxons, and Æthelberht to the kingdom of the Kentish people, and to the kingdom of the East Saxons, and to Surrey, and to the kingdom of the South Saxons. And then Æthelbald reigned five years. Alfred, his third son, he had sent to Rome; and when pope Leo heard say that [Æthelwulf] was dead, he blessed Alfred as king, and held him to the episcopal hands, as his father Æthelwulf, in sending him thither, had requested.
