		Berhtric was succeeded by Ecgberht (q.v.), the chief event of whose reign was the overthrow of the Mercian king Beornwulf in 825, which led to the establishment of West Saxon supremacy and to the annexation by Wessex of Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Essex.

		In the next year he returned in arms, raised Wessex in revolt, and compelled the king to in-law him again, to restore his earldom, and to dismiss with ignominy the Norman favourites who were hunted over seas.

		Cuthred, the king of the West Saxons, rose against Ethelbald, king of Mercia.

		This is probably said in reference to Cuthred, king of the West Saxons, who, having made a treaty of peace with Ethelbald, attacked and slew him at Seckington; or it may allude to the version of the story that he was slain by his own subjects, headed by the rebel Beornred.

		There is a questionable record of Aethelheard having been the brother-in-law of his predecessor, Ine, but his ancestry is unknown.
		It is possible that his success was due to the support of Ethelbald of Mercia, since he seems to have been subject to Ethelbald afterward.
		However, Aethelheard's lack of independence does not seem to have prevented Ethelbald from taking considerable territory from Wessex in 733, including the royal manor of Somerton.

	Ethelbald of Mercia Biography
		There was nevertheless some cause for conflict between the two kings, however, since in 733 Ethelbald undertook an expedition against Wessex and captured the royal manor of Somerton.
		Cuthred was determined to overthrow Mercia's domination of Wessex, however, and in 752 he defeated Ethelbald at Beorhford.
		This gained Wessex a few years of independence, but Ethelbald seems to have reasserted his authority over the West Saxons by the time of his death, since a later West Saxon king, Cynewulf, is recorded as witnessing a charter of Ethelbald at the very beginning of his reign, in 757.
