  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Edwin
Thus when he was residing with King Redwald of East Anglia, Ethelfrid repeatedly endeavoured to bribe the latter to destroy him.
Paulinus for five weeks, whilst he was occupied from morning to night in instructing and baptizing the crowds that flocked to him.
Edwin's persuasion, moreover, Eorpwald, King of East Anglia, son of his old friend Redwald, was led to become a Christian.

 St. Edwin
Upon Ælla's death in 588, the sovereignty over both divisions of Northumbria was usurped by Ethebric of Bernicia, and retained at his death by his son Ethelfrid; Edwin, Ælla's infant son, being compelled until his thirtieth year to wander from one friendly prince to another, in continual danger from Ethelfrid's attempts upon his life.
Finally, however, Redwald's refusal to betray his guest led in 616 to a battle, fought upon the river Idle, in which Ethelfrid himself was slain, and Edwin was invited to the throne of Northumbria.
In instance of this, Venerable Bede tells how, at their royal villa of Yeverin in Northumberland, the king and queen entertained Paulinus for five weeks, whilst he was occupied from morning to night in instructing and baptizing the crowds that flocked to him.

Then he lost no time, but immediately admonished the king to perform the vow which he had made, when he received the vision, promising to fulfil it, if he should be delivered from the troubles of that time, and advanced to the throne.
Redwald willingly received him, and promised to perform 'what was asked of him.
Redwald, whether terrified by his threats, or won over by his gifts, complied with this request, and promised either to kill Edwin, or to deliver him up to the envoys.

 EBK: Redwald, King of East Anglia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Redwald's date of death is uncertain and it is possible that he fell at the Idle.
Whatever the exact date, Redwald evidently had a last lapse into paganism before his death, for he appears to have been the monarch interred in the great Sutton Hoo ship burial, discovered near his Royal Court at Rendlesham in 1939.
Redwald may have been succeeded briefly by his brother, Eni, although, it is generally accepted that his successor was his youngest son, Erpwald.

 How England Became Christian (continued)
Redwald was, in a way, a Christian ; perhaps King Ethelbert, who was his over-lord, had compelled him to make a profession of belief.
Redwald was almost persuaded either to kill his guest or to give him up to his enemies.
Almost at the same moment Edwin's friend came out of the palace, and told him that King Redwald had changed his mind, and was now resolved not to give up his guest, even if by so doing he should bring war upon his kingdom.

Since Redwald is one of Constantine's personal grogs, Jacques was inclined to do nothing more about it, but some of the soldiers seemed bothered by it, and he began to think that perhaps it was a security matter that deserved some investigation.
Redwald walked a long way along the track towards Ploeuc until, some way north of the river, he was seen to veer off the path and to wander into a patch of deep, looming shadow.
Redwald has never been found asleep in the mud again, but I gather from Julius that he has a new nickname amongst the grogs, one that Julius was not prepared to repeat to me, but one can guess.

 Sutton Hoo Ship Burial
Sadly due to the high acidic nature of the soil where the grave was dug, the body may have simply dissolved over the period of the 1400 years that he was buried before his discovery.
Redwald was described to us by the Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede as a man who was partially converted to Christianity at the Kentish court of King Ethelbert, but on his return to East Anglia he is said to have been led astray by his wife and others back into Heathenism.
Redwald was the king of the East Angles during the early to middle seventh century, and experts believe that the ship burial itself dates

Redwald's adviser, Brother Cedric, suggests he appoint his own scapegoat, someone to blame when things go wrong.
Redwald duly appoints Gudrun as Head Churl, a position which brings the latter land, money, influence and the possibility of more cows.
Gudrun soon realises that his new job is a poisoned chalice, especially when he is charged with overseeing the building of the Millennium Sphere, an unusually shaped construction intended to keep the villagers' minds off their unrest.

 channel4.com - Monarchy - Redwald, king of East Anglia - text only
The son of King Tytila of East Anglia, Redwald was a rich, influential pagan warrior.
According to the 8th-century chronicler Bede, Redwald kept both a Christian and a pagan altar in his temple, the former possibly at the request of Ethelbert of Kent at whose court Redwald had been baptised.
It seems that he had a last lapse into paganism before his death, for it is likely that he was the monarch interred in the great Sutton Hoo ship burial, discovered near his royal court in Suffolk in 1939.

As a result of this power struggle Ethelfrith was killed in battle by Redwalds army in 616, which allowed Edwin to succeed Ethelfrith as the major Northumbrian king.
Redwald is one of the most well known of early Anglo-Saxon kings, partly due to the words of the Venerable Bede, but mainly for his association with the Sutton Hoo ship burial.
Redwald was the king of east Anglia during the early seventh century, Bede records that he was partially converted to Christianity while on a visit to Ethelberts Kent, but he remained true to his ancestral religion by keeping his pagan shrines, and only setting up Christian ones beside them.

 Northvegr - Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation
Nor did he lose any time, but immediately admonished the king to perform the vow which he made, when he received the oracle, promising to put the same in execution, if he was delivered from the trouble he was at that time under, and should be advanced to the throne.
Redwald, either terrified by his threats, or gained by his gifts, complied with his request, and promised either to kill Edwin, or to deliver him up to the ambassadors.
In this battle, Redwald's son, called Regnhere, was killed; and thus Edwin, pursuant to the oracle he had received, not only escaped the danger from the king his enemy, but, by his death, succeeded him in the throne.

Whilst he sat and reflected mournfully on his evil fortune, a tall person in a long fl robe stood suddenly before him, and inquired "why he sat there when every one else was asleep?" Edwin answered, that it could be no concern of his whether he watched or slept.
Redwald of East Anglia was saved from guilt and infamy by the brave counsel of his wife.
Edwin was thus restored to his kingdom; in fact, he thus obtained all Northumbria, and Redwald became Bretwalda or head of the Heptarchy.

Both of these works were among 20-some objects found in the burial mound of a 7th century King, Redwald, who was buried in East Anglia (on the east coast of England).
Redwald had been laid out dressed in his personal best in a 90-foot long ship that was pulled out of the water and dragged overland for several miles.
In spite of attempts to loot it, the mound effectively protected the king's hoard until it was excavated in 1939.

 Angelcynn - At West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village
Redwald was the king of East Anglia from before 616 until his death in about 625AD.
According to Bede, from 616 (the date of the death of Æðelberht of Kent) he was the fourth English ruler to exercise overlordship over all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms south of the Humber, or to use the Old English word, he was the fourth Bretwalda.
Redwald had been converted to Christianity, apparently at the court of Æðelberht of Kent, but on his return to East Anglia had been led away from the faith 'by his wife and certain evil teachers.' Bede tells us that in his temple at Rendlesham he set up a Christian altar alongside a pagan one!

EDWIN was so zealous for the true worship, that he likewise persuaded Earpwald, king of the East Angles, and son of Redwald, to abandonhis idolatrous superstitions, and with his whole province to receive the faith and mysteries of Christ.
The aforesaid King Redwald was noble by birth, though ignoble in his actions, being the son of Tytilus, whose father was Uuffa, from whom the kings of the East Angles are called Uuffings.
His exertions were nobly promoted by Bishop Felix,who, coming to Honorius, the archbishop, from the parts of Burgundy, where he had been born and ordained, and having told him what he desired, was sent by him to preach the Word of life to the aforesaid nation of the Angles.

Byrnoth orders Redwald to take control of the people in his shire and put an end to all the millennium craziness - or else the Thane will discover the true extent of the Earl's imaginative capacity when it comes to torture techniques.
It is love at first sight, for Redwald anyway: Matilda makes up her mind straight away that the mumbling, stuttering, stammering Redwald deserves to take up even less of her affections than her least favourite pastime of cooking.
After Redwald chooses Gudrun to be the new Chief Churl, much to the satisfaction of his wife Agnes, Cedric proposes the group eat one of Matilda's vole pies to celebrate.

With regard to other historic incidents in the tale, some are from the Danish "Knytlinga" and "Jomsvikinga" Sagas, which alone give us the age of Cnut on his accession to the throne, and recount the interception of Queen Emma by Thorkel's men on her projected flight.
As for the places mentioned in Redwald's story, the well on Caldbec hill still has its terrors for the village folk, and the destruction of the ancient mining village at Penhurst by the Danes is remembered yet with strange tales of treasure found among its stone buildings.
But I cannot greet a kinsman coldly, and it is in my mind that Redwald is a cousin worth finding, if I may judge by the way in which he hailed my news." "Truly," said Eadmund, "I am minded to do as he did, now that I have taken all the wonder of it in.

Digging in a low mound of earth, they realized that they had uncovered the burial of King Redwald, one of the first Kings of East Anglia, who had been buried in his ship in the year 625.
Thus the pair of spoons that had been buried over thirteen hundred years before and was then discovered, had been intended to symbolize Redwald's rejection of paganism and his acceptance of Christianity.
They are evidence of the choice that Redwald failed to make, but which Sigebert and Felix did make.

The spears of Wulfhere's soldiers would have slain the vanquished enemy, had not Edith of Stenbury flung himself at the King's feet with an impassioned cry: "Spare him, Wulfhere the Kind-Hearted!" Her prayer was granted, and it was not long before the two former enemies became bosom friends.
Even when Wulfhere, to his bitter disappointment, found his suit rejected by Edith in favour of Redwald, he remained true to his name.

He left a son, Edwin by mime, but this son did not succeed him in his kingdom, which was seized by a powerful noble of the land.
Redwald was, in a way, a Christian; perhaps King Ethelbert, who was his over-lord, had compelled him to make a profession of belief.
He said that he did not believe that King Redwald would betray him; "if he is minded to do so," he went on, "I would sooner die than wander about any more." The friend then left him, and Edwin sat in front of King Redwald's palace till it grew dark, thinking how unhappy he was.
