Æthelbert (860-66 AD)
Very little is known about Æthelbert, who t ook his rightful place in the
line of succession to the throne of Wessex at a round 30 years of age.
Like all other rulers of his day, he had to contend wi th Viking raids on
his territories and even had to battle them in his capital city of
Winchester. Apparently, his military leadership was adequate, since, on
this occasion, the Vikings were cut off on their retreat to the coast and
were slaughtered, according to a contemporary source, in a "bloody
battle.
