	Anglo-Saxons.net : Ceolwulf II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		His predecessor Burgred was driven out by the Vikings in late 873 or early 874; the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle calls Ceolwulf "a foolish king's thegn" who owed his kingship to the Vikings.
		Alfred may have preferred dealing with his brother-in-law Burgred and later his son-in-law Æthelred, but it is clear that in the 870s themselves, both Mercians and West Saxons recognized Ceolwulf as the Mercian king.
		The fact that after the Viking settlement of 877 Ceolwulf still held some part of Mercia may suggest that Ceolwulf was a shrewder negotiator than the composer of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle chose to remember.

	Stamford Castle
		In 872-3 and 873-4 the great army overwintered at Torksey and Repton, which were in the heartland of a dynasty founded by Ceolwulf I which had been deposed by the family of Burgred, King of Mercia (Hart 1977).
		It is likely that representatives of Ceolwulf I conspired with the Danes against Burgred, for, 'the foolish king's thegn' that the Danes set up as his successor was also called Ceolwulf and was almost certainly a kinsman of Ceolwulf I (Roffe 1987a, 218).
		Within this context, the stand-off at Nottingham in 868 when Burgred and Alfred agreed not to fight the invaders may be evidence as much of local opposition to the ruling regime as of the strong defences reported by Asser (Asser ?).
