	Eowa of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eowa (or Eawa) was a son of the Mercian king Pybba and a brother of the Mercian king Penda; according to the Historia Brittonum
		These two sources state that Eowa was a king of the Mercians himself at the time of the Battle of Maserfield (or Cogwy), in which he was killed, on August 5 of what was probably the year 642.
		Nicholas Brooks wrote that, if Eowa is considered to have ruled during the period between roughly 635 and Maserfield, this could account for an obscure recorded Welsh raid into Mercian territory, during which it is said that no mercy was shown to "book-holding monks".

		Mercia (Old English Mierce – "border people") was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy, centred on the valley of the River Trent and its tributaries in what is now the Midlands of England.
		Mercia, sometimes spelled Mierce, was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy, in what is now England, in the region of the Midlands, with its heart in the valley of the River Trent and its tributary streams.
		In 874, Mercia weakly succumbed to the invading Danish army, and ultimately the eastern part became (886) a portion of the Danelaw, while the western part was controlled by Alfred of Wessex.

	Penda of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eowa may have simply been a sub-king under Penda and it is also possible that Penda and Eowa ruled jointly during the 630s and early 640s, and joint kingships were not uncommon among Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the period.
		If Eowa was in fact dominant among the Mercians during the period leading up to the battle, then his death could have marked what the author of the Historia Brittonum regarded as the beginning of Penda's ten-year reign.
		Penda's reign is significant in that it marks an emergence from the obscurity of Mercia during the time of his predecessors, both in terms of the power of the Mercians relative to the surrounding peoples and in terms of our historical awareness of them.

		Eowa may have simply been a sub-king under Penda; the possibility also exists that Penda and Eowa ruled jointly during the 630s and early 640s, and joint kingships were not uncommon among Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the period.
		Northumbria was greatly weakened as a consequence of the battle; the kingdom became fractured to some degree between Deira in its southern part and Bernicia in the north, with the Deirans acquiring a king of their own, Oswine, while in Bernicia, Oswald was succeeded by his brother, Oswiu.
		Mercia thus enjoyed a greatly enhanced position of strength relative to the surrounding kingdoms, and Frank Stenton wrote that the battle left Penda as "the most formidable king in England".

		Although a pagan, he allowed his daughter Cyneburg to marry Ecgfrith, the son of King Oswiu of Northumbria, and it was during Peada's reign that Christianity was introduced into Middle Anglia.

		Mercia was peaceful for the next seven years, but, in AD 642, the storm clouds gathered once more.

	Penda of Mercia
		A pagan at a time when Christianity was taking hold in the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, Penda was the most powerful ruler in what is now England for much of his reign, and he is remembered by history as a cruel conqueror.
		The pagan Penda had the Christian Oswald's body mutilated, and Oswald was thereafter revered as a martyr; the site of the battle became known as Oswestry, or "Oswald's Tree", because Penda had hung his remains from a tree.
		Penda's brother Eowa, from whom the later Mercian kings Ethelbald and Offa were descended, was also killed in this battle.

	A History of Mercia
		Mercia was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom founded by some of the Germanic tribe of the Angles (in their own tongue Engles) based in the Midlands of what is now England sometime in the 6th century.
		The origins of Mercia are lost in the period of the Anglo-Saxon migrations to Great Britain from 420 CE to 600 CE.
		Eowa and Penda may have taken the Trent valley upon Cearl's death sometime between 616 and 626 CE (perhaps been the cause of his death even).

		Nothing is said of Penda's fate, but it may be that the Northumbrians supplanted him and installed Eowa as a subking of Mercia, under the overall authority of Oswald of Northumbria.
		This sequence would closely parallel the documented Northumbrian overlordship over Mercia in 655-8, when after the Battle of Winwæd in which Penda was killed, Oswiu sent Northumbrian ealdormen to govern Mercia, which they did for three years until the Mercians supplanted them with Penda's son Wulfhere.
		It may be that the Mercians suffered the yoke of Eowa longer because he was himself a Mercian, the brother of Penda (both are called sons of Pybba: see ASC 626, 757).
