	Wulfhere of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wulfhere's wife was Eormenhild, a daughter of Eorcenberht, king of Kent, and he was succeeded by his brother Æthelred.
		Wulfhere gained Lindsey from Northumbria, and he led a successful campaign against Wessex in 661; according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, he "raided as far as Ashdown" and the Isle of Wight, which he gave to Æðelwealh of Sussex.
		Unlike his pagan father, Wulfhere was an enthusiastic Christian, and he took energetic measures to spread Christianity in Mercia.

	Mercia
		In 903, the East Anglian Danes ransacked Mercia and northern Wessex, incited by the rebel Æthelwold, cousin of Edward (Alfred's son and successor).
		Mercia's influence probably reached its zenith during the reign of Offa in the latter half of the 8th century.
		By the time of Oswiu's death, in 670, it seems likely that Wulfhere was overlord of southern England (though he fails to be nominated as a Bretwalda).

	A History of Mercia
		Mercia was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom founded by some of the Germanic tribe of the Angles (in their own tongue Engles) based in the Midlands of what is now England sometime in the 6th century.
		The origins of Mercia are lost in the period of the Anglo-Saxon migrations to Great Britain from 420 CE to 600 CE.
		This would seem to indicate that at least some of the Anglo-Saxon peoples of Mercia were in some way related to those of East Anglia and Lindsey, and thus had migrated from those places.

	The Life of St. Chad
		Wulfhere, king of Mercia, gave him fifty hides of land for a monastery at Barow (Lincolnshire); he also established a monastery close to Lichfield Cathedral.
		This unusual step was due both to the new opening for Christianity in Mercia and to the excellent character of Chad himself, whom both Eddius and Bede recognised as being unusually humble, devout, zealous and apostolic.
		But in 669 Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury, restored Wilfrid to York and deposed Chad (who retired to Lastingham), but soon reconsecrated him to be bishop of the Mercians.
