		It would appear that King Burgred of Mercia often sought the assistance of Wessex, from the reign of King Ecgberht through to King Æðelwulf, and even sought to marry King Ælfred’s sister, Æþleswiþ.
		Now, luck favoured Ælfred because the Vikings having left Wessex for Mercia (London), in 872 AD King Burgred made peace with the Vikings; it is very clear that no mention of this exchange was made to the Vikings so that Ælfred now had eyes and ears behind enemy frontiers, unknown to the enemy.
		That agreement would have been reached beforehand with King Burghred of Mercia, is now apparent, from the villages used with a central information gathering centre, for convenient and safe relaying of ‘intelligence’ to Alfred, through the nerve centre at Cogges, Oxon, which was cited close to the River Thames bordering Wessex.

		By 883 (according to S 218), Ealdorman Æthelred was in charge of Mercia, under the overall authority of King Alfred of Wessex.
