Notes for First King Ecgbert III of all England

In 0800, at the decease of King Brithric, Egbert was called by the voice of his
countrymen to assume the Government of Wessex, and he subsequently succeeded
in reducing all the Kingdoms of the Heptarchy under his sway. His reign, a
long and glorious one, is memorable for the great victories he achieved over
the Danes.
