	Ethelbald of Mercia Biography
		Ethelbald was largely successful in his efforts to impose Mercian authority over southern England, and in doing so his reign foreshadowed that of Offa.
		In the north, Ethelbald took advantage of the absence of Eadbert in a campaign against the Picts in 740 to invade Northumbria and burn York.
		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.

	Bretwalda
		Two lists of kings that deserved this title have survived, one by Bede (died 735), and one in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle from the 10th century.
		The original lists of Bretwalda did not contain the kings Ethelbald and Offa of Mercia, but in all probability they were considered Bretwalda in their time.
		The reason for their omission is probably an anti-Pagan (for Bede) and anti-Mercian (for the Chronicles) bias.

	Bretwalda - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		The original lists of Bretwaldas did not contain the kings Ethelbald and Offa of Mercia, but in all probability they were considered overlords in their time and are included above.
		Bede does not record Ethelbald or Offa as Ethelbald lived at the same time as Bede (Bede commented little on current affairs in his Historia Ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum) and Offa was after Bede's time (Bede died in 735).
		There is little evidence of the extent to which the title 'Bretwalda' was used in the Anglo-Saxon period, but it gradually fell into disuse around or after the Danish invasion of the 860s and 870s.
