	Offa of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Offa (died July 26/29, 796) was the King of Mercia from 757 until his death.
		Prior to the rise of Wessex in the 9th century, he was arguably the most powerful and successful of the Old English kings, effectively ruling the whole of England south of the River Humber during the latter part of his reign.
		The circumstances of this are unclear, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle simply states that "Offa, King of Mercia, ordered Aethelberht's head to be struck off." Roger of Wendover later gave an account of the event in which Aethelbert was killed through the treachery of Offa's wife Cynethryth, but his account may be entirely legendary.
