Ælfwald II Of Northumbria
Ælfwald II, according to one tradition, reigned as king of Northumbria following the deposition of Eardwulf in 806. This information appears only in the anonymous tract '' De primo Saxonum adventu'' and in the later '' Flores Historiarum'' of Roger of Wendover. Roger states that Ælfwald had overthrown Eardwulf. Ælfwald allegedly reigned for two years before Eardwulf returned, restored to power with the aid of the Emperor Charlemagne and of Pope Leo III. Alternatively, Eardwulf's son Eanred may have succeeded to the throne, rather than Eardwulf. While only late and exiguous written sources for Ælfwald's reign have survived, modest numbers of coins from his reign exist - minted at York by a moneyer named Cuthheard, who also produced all known coins of Eardwulf's reign. Lakeland author W. G. Collingwood in a 1917 book, ''The Likeness of King Elfwald: A Study of Iona and Northumbria'', imagined the life of Ælfwald. The work, based on Collingwood's long study of Northumb ...

Ælfwald Of Sussex
Ælfwald was a King of Sussex, who reigned jointly with Ealdwulf and Oslac, and probably also with Oswald and Osmund. Ælfwald witnessed an undated charter of Ealdwulf, believed to be from about 765, with his name corruptly recorded as ''Ælhuuald rex''. Ælfwald also witnessed a charter of Offa, King of Mercia, dated 772, as ''Ælbuuald dux'',Flaherty 36. with his name placed after Oswald, Osmund, but before Oslac. He is not known to have issued charters of his own. References Bibliography *Flaherty, W. E. ''The Annals of England: An Epitome of English History''. London, 1876. *Kelly, S. E.

Ælfwald Of East Anglia
Ælfwald (Old English: ''Alfƿold'', "elf-ruler," reigned from 713 to 749) was an 8th-century king of Kingdom of East Anglia, East Anglia, an Anglo-Saxon kingdom that today includes the English counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. The last king of the Wuffingas dynasty, Ælfwald succeeded his father Ealdwulf of East Anglia, Ealdwulf, who had ruled for 49 years. Ælfwald himself ruled for 36 years. Their combined reigns, with barely any record of external military action or internal dynastic strife, represent a long period of peaceful stability for the East Angles. In Ælfwald's time, this was probably owing to a number of factors, including the settled nature of East Anglian ecclesiastical affairs and the prosperity brought through Rhineland commerce with the East Anglian port of Gipeswic (modern Ipswich). The coinage of Anglo-Saxon sceattas expanded in Ælfwald's time: evidence of East Anglian mints, markets, and industry are suggested where concentrations of such coins have been di ...
