 Beorhtric of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In practice, Beorhtric seems to have been subject to Offa's authority.
In 787, he held the Synod of Chelsea jointly with Offa, and in 789 he married one of Offa's daughters, Eadburh.

 The Heroic Age: Wicked Queens and Cousin Strategies in Beowulf and Elsewhere
Asser goes on to complete the account of Eadburh's life--fleeing to the Franks, giving the wrong answer to a character test by Charlemagne, caused apparently by her own lasciviousness, being caught in the end in fornication, eventually dying miserably as a beggar in Pavia.
Her arrogance is motivated to some extent by her relationship to Charlemagne (as Eadburh's tyranny was ascribed to her being the daughter of Offa); but her murder of Æthelbert king of East Anglia is given a slightly more complex motive.
Drida's plan, says Matthew, was that she "intended to marry her daughters to foreigners across the sea, in order to supplant the king and subvert the kingdom of the Mercians." It is Offa's wish to marry his and her third daughter "domestically," i.e.

 Gateway | March Issue Story 4
While this is certainly a noteworthy point, the more serious difficulty arising from the author's reliance on the Chronicle is that it is clearly indicative of a concern for historical truth, a concern that is sorely lacking in the remaining sections of his work which are supposed to have been based upon his own knowledge.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Eadburh was married to Beorhtric, King of the West Saxons, in 789.23 It is reasonable to believe, as does Stevenson, that this woman was about fifteen years old at this time (to accept that she was older only serves to further damage Pseudo-Asser's credibility).
Even the historicity of Eadburh's ultimate demise in Pavia can be brought into question because, as Smyth points out, in addition to the above problems, this story possesses a suspicious number of "stock" qualities or motifs.
