BRITAIN HISTORY
KING EDWIN AND SYNOD OF WHITBY
Egbert was a warrior King of Wessex who managed briefly to dominate the other
kingdoms between 802-839 when he died. This achievement should not be seen as a true
unification of the kingdoms it was as fleeting in historical terms, as the supremacy of the
Mercian Kings, Ethelbald and Offa. He had succeeded his father originally to the
Kingdom of Kent (believed to be sAelmund.) He was a great encourager of learning and
the liberal arts; which then, under the endeavours of Archbishop Theodore. Examples
below show that he endowed the church generously but he was also capable of brutal
acts. He was recorded in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle as the 8th King of the Bretwaldas.
