	Wiglaf of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wiglaf (died 839/40) was the King of Mercia from 827 to 829 and again from 830 until his death.
		Wiglaf does not seem to have been a member of the traditional Mercian royal line, and it is unclear whether he had any relationship to it.
		At this time, Mercia was engaged in a conflict with the rising power of Wessex, which had begun during the reign of Beornwulf in 825, and in 829, Egbert of Wessex successfully invaded Mercia and drove Wiglaf from his throne.

		The circumstances of this suggest it was a rebellion against West Saxon rule rather than a grant made by Egbert to Wiglaf, since Wiglaf did not act as a subordinate client king in the years that followed.
		It is apparent that Wiglaf recognized the period of his overthrow, since in a charter from 831 he referred to his "second reign".

		Wistan, or Wigstan, was the son of Wigmund, probably sub-King of the Hwicce, and Elflaeda, daughter of the elderly King Ceolwulf of Mercia.
		He may have been the brother of King Ceolwulf II of Mercia and Lady Edburga of the Gaini (mother-in-law of King Alfred the Great), though this is far from certain.
		Wistan grew up during the reign of his paternal grandfather, King Wiglaf of Mercia, but his father predeceased him - apparently via a bad case of dysentery - and the young lad eventually succeeded Wiglaf to the Mercian throne in AD 840.
