Notes for Ecgbert III OF WESSEX

Reigned 802-839.
     In 800 at the decease of King Brithric, Egbert was called by the voice of his
     countrymen to assume the Government of Wessex, and he subsequently succeeded
     in reducing all the Kingdoms of the Heptarchy under his sway. His reign, a
     long and glorious one, is memorable for the great victories he achieved over
