		Merewahl, king of the Magonsætan, said to be a son of Penda perhaps by an earlier marriage and thus a half-brother of Wulfhere, was probably buried at Repton in the latter part of the seventh century.
		Repton crypt was constructed in the first half of the 8th century, during the reign of King Aethelbald (reigned 716 - 757).
