	Anglo-Saxons.net : Ceolwulf II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.

	Earl Aethelred of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His title was "Lord of the Mercians", and although he retained many attributes of a king, he was subject to the power of his close ally Wessex.
		In 886, he was given control of London by King Alfred of Wessex, whose daughter, Ethelfleda, he married.
		As Alfred reconquered the Danelaw, it was useful to place the heir to the divided Kingdom of Mercia in control of its former eastern region.

	EBK: St. Wistan, King of Mercia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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.

		It is known that Mercia as an identifiable Kingdom was a power in the region by 600 at the latest, and it is known that Anglian warlords were active in the general area for perhaps as much as a century previously, but who they opposed in the way of Romano-British inhabitants is not well understood.
		Ceolwulf's antecedents are murky, but it is plausible that he was an older and relatively uninfluential member of the Mercian Royal House who was selected by the Norse to govern because of his tractability and noble birth.
		This younger son of George II was a general in the British army whose very bloody victory over highlander troops of Bonny Prince Charlie in April of 1746 decisively ended the Second Jacobite Rebellion and earned him the sobriquet "the Butcher of Culloden".
