		In 815 Ecgbert ravaged the whole of the territories of the West Welsh, which probably at this time did not include much more than Cornwall.

	Beornwulf of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A man named Beornwulf is mentioned as having witnessed a charter of King Coenwulf in 812 and another of King Ceolwulf in 823, but his position on each of these charters suggests he was not of an exceptionally high rank.
		In 825, he was badly defeated by the King of Wessex, Egbert, in battle at Ellandun, and Egbert subsequently captured Kent and drove out its pro-Mercian king, Baldred.
		In the wake of these events, Mercia's dominance of southern England rapidly unravelled.

		Turning next his arms against Northumbria, he compelled that sovereignty also to acknowledge his supremacy (827-828).
