	Coenwulf of Mercia - InformationBlast
		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 appears from the charters to have quarrelled with Wulfred of Canterbury, who was consecrated in 806, and the dispute continued for several years.

	Coenwulf of Mercia
		Cuthred reigned in Kent from 798 to 807; when he died, Coenwulf took control of Kent in name as well as fact.
		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.
		In 799, Coenwulf entered into a peace treaty with the West Saxons under Beorhtric, who had been installed as King of Wessex by Offa in 786; Beorhtric remained friendly to Mercian interests until his death in 802, when the less submissive Egbert became king.

		Coenwulf does not appear in charters of Offa, which may be because he was in exile in Offa's reign, much as Æthelbald had been in the reign of Ceolred (see entry on 716).
		Coenwulf was the great-great-grandson of King Centwine (676-85), and traced his descent farther back through Penda; somewhat ironically, given Offa's efforts to ensure the kingship descended in direct family lines, the nearest common ancestor of Coenwulf and Offa is Penda's father Pybba.
		Coenwulf faced an invasion from Eardwulf of Northumbria c.801, cancelled the controversial archbishopric of Lichfield in 803, and famously quarelled with the archbishop of Canterbury, Wulfred, in 816.

		The heartland of Mercia, shown as "Mercia" on the map, was in the west of England, the region around Lichfield and Repton and Tamworth.
		Rather than have a protracted fight with the archbishop, as King Coenwulf of Mercia would do with Archbishop Wulfred in 816, Offa petitioned the Pope that a third archbishopric should be formed, at Lichfield in the Mercian heartlands.
		But Coenwulf did suggest that a single southern archbishopric should be re-established not at Canterbury, but at London -- it had been Gregory the Great's original plan that the archbishoprics should be established at York and London, but Coenwulf would have been more motivated by the fact that London was more firmly under Mercian control.
