	Bretwalda
		The title was not inherited, but rather given to whichever king was considered the most powerful at the moment; often there was no Bretwalda.
		The word is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Bretanwealda, "Lord of Britain" or perhaps "wide-ruling".
		Although the Bretwalda was often considered to be the king of all or most of England, he probably was more a primus inter pares than an actual overlord to the other English kings.

		In much the same way as the Celts had their tradition of the High Kings, so the Angles and Saxons, in the first couple of centuries after their eastern kingdoms had been formed, usually recognised the overall authority and supremacy of one king over all the rest.
		Usually this was at a time when that ruler's kingdom was at its strongest, and initial force of arms had demonstrated the ability of that ruler to claim the title.
