BURGRED

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 820 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURGRED , king of Mercia, succeeded to the
throne
  in 852, and in 852 or 853 called upon JEthelwulf of Wessex to aid him in subduing the North Welsh. The request was granted and the campaign proved successful, the
alliance
  being sealed by the
marriage
  of Burgred to sEthelswith, daughter of IEthelwulf. In 868 the Mercian king appealed to '
Ethelred
  and Alfred for assistance against the Danes, who were in possession of Notting-ham. The armies of Wessex and Mercia did no serious fighting, and the Danes were allowed to remain through the winter. In 874 the
march
  of the Danes from
Lindsey
  to
Repton
  drove Burgred from his kingdom. He retired to Rome and died there.
See Saxon Chronicle (
Earle
  and Plummer), years 852-853, 868, 874.
