	Aethelheard of Wessex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		There is a questionable record of Aethelheard having been the brother-in-law of his predecessor, Ine, but his ancestry is unknown.
		In the wake of his departure, the West Saxon throne was disputed between Aethelheard and a rival claimant, Oswald.
		However, Aethelheard's lack of independence does not seem to have prevented Ethelbald from taking considerable territory from Wessex in 733, including the royal manor of Somerton.

	Britannia Castles: Taunton Castle, Somerset
		The history of Taunton as a fortified place starts early, for here King Ine of Wessex, in or about the year 710, "timbered him a burgh," which his consort, Ethelburga, as an odd entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle relates, destroyed twelve years later.
		This was not, apparently, a gratuitous "breaking up of a happy home" but a recapture by the Royal Lady, who was on the best terms with her husband.
		An ecclesiastical minster is traditionally said to have been founded at Taunton, only a few years later, by Queen Frithogyth, wife of King Aethelheard of Wessex, and the Bishops of Wessex appear to have built a manor house, adjoining it, from which to survey their great estates.
