	Ine of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ine (died 728) was the King of Wessex from 688 to 726, noted particularly for his code of laws.
		Ine made peace with Kent in 694, when its king Wihtred gave him a sum in compensation for the death of Mul, brother of Caedwalla, who had been killed during a Kentish rebellion in 687.
		Ine also sought to keep the South Saxons, conquered by Caedwalla in 686, in subjugation; around the year 692, he installed a kinsman of his, Nunna, as a client king over them.

	Ine of Wessex
		Ine, king of the West Saxons, succeeded Ceadwalla[?] in 688, his title to the crown being derived from Ceawlin.
		In 710 Ine, in alliance with his kinsman Nun, probably king of Sussex, defeated Geraint of Dumnonia, according to Florence of Worcester.
		In 721 Ine slew Cynewulf, and in 722 his queen Æthelburg destroyed Taunton, which her husband had built earlier in his reign.

	ninemsn Encarta - Wessex
		Wessex, kingdom of the West Saxons, located in southern England, east of Cornwall, whose rulers eventually came to control the rest of the country and to establish a united England in the early 10th century.
		In the late 6th century Mercia seized from the Wessex king Cynegils (ruled 611-643) the provinces of Hwicce (modern Gloucestershire, parts of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and south Warwickshire), and from his son Cenwalh (643-672) the region that is now Oxfordshire.
		This Mercian ascendancy was brought to an end when the Wessex King Egbert (ruled 802-839) not only gained control of Devon and Cornwall, but also in 825 scored a major victory over Beornwulf of Mercia and brought Surrey, Sussex, and Kent into his kingdom.

	Egbert of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The father of Egbert was called Ealhmund, and we find an Ealhmund, king in Kent, mentioned in a charter dated 784, who is identified with Egbert's father in a late addition to the Chronicle under the date 784.
		It is possible, however, that the Chronicle in 825 refers to some claim through Ine of Wessex from whose brother Ingeld Egbert was descended.
		He spent this exile with the Franks on the continent, and although it is said to have lasted three years, some historians have suggested that this period may have actually lasted thirteen years (789–802), as this would account for Egbert's whereabouts during the whole period preceding Beorhtric's death.

		King Ine, who ruled Wessex from 688 to 726, was the first to issue a code of laws.
		Ethelwulf, who had succeeded his father as king of Wessex in 839, and who was renowned for his military prowess, saw the benefit of combining forces with Mercia against the Vikings; with this in mind, he strove to promote good relations between the two kingdoms.
		In order to accomplish the task he set himself, which was to rid England of the Danes for ever, Alfred had many fortresses constructed to protect Wessex from attack by land; he built up a navy of warships to safeguard the coasts of Wessex; diplomatically he made an ally of the king of Wales.

	Aethelheard of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There is a questionable record of Aethelheard having been the brother-in-law of his predecessor, Ine, but his ancestry is unknown.
		When Ine abdicated and went to Rome in 726, he left behind no obvious heir, and according to Bede simply left his kingdom "to younger men".
		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.

		This he did in a long and rather acrimonious letter to their king Geraint (Geruntius), and their ultimate agreement with Rome is referred by William of Malmesbury to his efforts.
