King of Wessex 802-839 and the first King of all England 827-839. Ecgberht became King of Wessex in 802, having previously spent some years serving in the army of Charlemange (RIN # 534) in Europe. He steadily increased the power and influence of Wessex, and in 825 defeated the Mercians at the Battle of Ellandun. Two years later, Northumbria submitted to him, and from 827 until his death in 839 Ecgberht was recognixed by his fellow kings as King of all England.
