	Anglo-Saxons.net : Ceolwulf II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		Ceolwulf's only other appearance in English narrative sources is in 877, when the Chronicle notes that a Viking army retired into Mercia and divided it, sharing out part of it amongst themselves and leaving the rest for Ceolwulf.
		A regnal list from Worcester gives Ceolwulf a reign of five years; counting from his accession in 874, this suggests that Ceolwulf ruled the western part of Mercia, including Worcester, for another two years after the Viking settlement.
		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.

		Ceolwulf’s disappearance had left the leadership of Mercia vacant.

	Britannia Biographies: St. Wistan, King of Mercia
		Wistan, or Wigstan, was the son of Wigmund, probably sub-King of the Hwicce, and Elflaeda, daughter of the elderly King Ceolwulf of Mercia.
		He may have been the brother of King Ceolwulf II of Mercia and Lady Edburga of the Gaini (mother-in-law of King Alfred the Great), though this is far from certain.
		Wistan grew up during the reign of his paternal grandfather, King Wiglaf of Mercia, but his father predeceased him - apparently via a bad case of dysentery - and the young lad eventually succeeded Wiglaf to the Mercian throne in AD 840.

	The Vikings - Beginnings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		For example, Ceolwulf II of Mercia (874 - c.879) is dismissed in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as 'a foolish king's thegn', and has often been seen as a puppet of the Vikings.
		However the coinage shows a clear alliance between Ceolwulf and Alfredof Wessex, with both kings issuing coins of the same type.
		Since the coins are contemporary and the Chronicle was written some years later, the coins may be a more reliable source.
