	Coenwulf - LoveToKnow 1911
		Coenwulf appears from the charters to have quarrelled with Wulfred of Canterbury, who was consecrated in 806, and the dispute continued for several years.
		It was probably only settled at Cloveshoe in 825, when the lawsuit of Cwoenthryth, daughter and heiress of Coenwulf, with Wulfred was terminated.
		Coenwulf may have instigated the raid of ZEthelmund, earl of the Hwicce, upon the accession of Ecgberht.

	Coenwulf of Mercia - Biocrawler
		Coenwulf (or Cenwulf) (died 821) was King of Mercia from 796 to 821.
		Coenwulf won the Church's backing for a reconquest of Kent, in large part due to its dissatisfaction with the exile of the pro-Mercian Archbishop of Canterbury, Aethelheard, who fled in the face of the rebellion.
		It was during Coenwulf's reign that the archbishopric of Lichfield was abolished, probably before 803, as the Hygeberht who signed as an abbot at the council of Cloveshoe in that year was presumably the former archbishop.

	Coenwulf@Everything2.com
		Coenwulf claimed to be descended from Pybba, through Cenwealh a younger brother of Penda, and his succession is viewed as somewhat remarkable as none of his direct ancestors had any connection with the Mercian throne.
		Coenwulf was involved in an inconclusive conflict with Eardwulf king of Northumbria in the years 801-802, but far more importantly, the year 802 saw Ecgbert returning from exile to seize power in Wessex.
		Coenwulf may not have realised it but the end of Mercia was approaching, the Welsh were about to rediscover a new vigour and repel the Mercian conquerors, and there was a dark cloud on the horizon coming from the direction of Scandinavia.

		In 798, Coenwulf invaded Kent, deposed and captured the rebel king Eadbert Praen, and made his own brother Cuthred king of Kent.
		However, Coenwulf regained control of East Anglia within a few years; certainly he had reestablished Mercian rule there by 805, when coins were minted there in his name.

		Coenwulf was, like rulers before and after him, in thrall to the language and culture of the Romans who had left Britain three centuries earlier.
		His decision to use the word vicus, meaning a trading centre, on the coin rather than civitas, the city seat of authority, is a strong indication that the coin was for trading.
		The image of Coenwulf, a bloodthirsty figure who stole the throne from Offa's son and then invaded East Anglia and Kent to create an empire stretching from the South Coast to the Welsh borders and the Humber, is not likely to be a good likeness, said Mr Williams.

	Ancient Anglo-Saxon gold coin found by metal detector sells for record price in Britain
		Coenwulf’s kingdom of Mercia stretched from the Thames in the south to the Humber in the north, and the Welsh border in the west.
		The weight of the coin suggests it was designed to represent the sum of a ‘mancus’, a word which appears to have represented both a nominal weight of c.4.25g and also the value of thirty silver pennies.
		This suggests that Coenwulf, who was the overlord of much of southern England as well as king of Mercia, was playing one-upmanship games with the most powerful ruler in Europe.

	Coenwulf of Mercia
		Coenwulf was a descendant of Cenwalh, an obscure younger brother of the past kings Penda and Eowa, who had lived 150 years earlier; thus Coenwulf was a member of a different branch of the Mercian royal line, as descendants of Penda had ruled until 716 and descendants of Eowa until Ecgfrith's death.
		Coenwulf subsequently took control of Kent in name as well as fact and is styled King of the Mercians and the Province of Kent (rex Merciorum atque provincie Cancie) in a charter dated 809

	Coenwulf: Mercian Overlord and Tyrant
		Coenwulf proving himself the better man for the throne, Ecgfrith paid for his defense of his father's bloodline with his own blood.
		Coenwulf soon went about continuing the anti-Welsh doctrine of Offa, engaging the Welsh on their own land in the 797 Battle of Rhuddlan.
		The tradition of Offa, reinforced by Coenwulf, went a long way toward the viewing of Mercia as "the beast." In just a few years more, Wessex would be seen as the instrumental of salvation from the oppression precipitated by Mercia.

		The coin, depicting King Coenwulf of Mercia, was found by a man with a metal detector beside the River Ivel in Bedfordshire in 2001 and was then bought by an American collector.
		The Coenwulf coin is one of only eight known gold coins of the mid to late Saxon period, of which the museum now owns seven.
		Weighing 4.25 grams and equivalent to the value of 30 silver pennies, it is believed to be the earliest example of a gold coin in the name of an English ruler intended as part of a circulating currency.

		The use of DE VICO LVNDONIAE in Coenwulf’s mancus inscription is highly significant, for such official endorsement on the royal coinage emphasises the importance of the wic settlement.
		This suggests that Coenwulf may well have intended this to be a general issue that should be part of the regular coinage, albeit of a very high value denomination for use in specific circumstances.
		That issue of c.814-19 is analagous with Coenwulf’s mancus in many respects, though probably issued on a larger scale as some 20 specimens survive, and it would not be the first time that the Carolingians had been influenced by their Anglo-Saxon neighbours.

	Guardian \| Britain's hoard of ancient coins
		The ninth-century coin depicts Coenwulf, the ruler of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia from 796 to 821, and it is thought to be the oldest example of gold currency commemorating a British ruler - which helps to explain why the museum paid £357,832 to the anonymous person who found it near Bedford in 2001.
		Coenwulf is basically saying, 'I'm as good as Charlemagne and London's as good as Dorestadt.' He's promoting London on an international trade coinage as a major trading centre."
		Another, a King Alfred silver penny from c880, is, like the Coenwulf coin, a piece of Londoncentrism, intended to mark the Anglo-Saxons' recapture of the city from the Vikings.

		As old as the epic of Beowulf, it depicts Coenwulf, ruler of the dominant Midlands kingdom of Mercia from 796-821.
		Coenwulf's reign began in December 796 upon the death of Offa's son, Ecgfrith, who ruled just five months — leading to suspicion that Coenwulf, merely a distant relative, killed him to usurp the throne.
		Coenwulf, with backing from the Church, invaded Kent in 798, deposed the king and installed his own brother, Cuthred, as king (798-807).
