RIEDWALD (d. c. 62o)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 812 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RIEDWALD (d. c. 62o) , king of the
East
  Angles, was the son of King Tytili. He became a Christian during a stay in Kent, but on his return to
East
  Anglia he sanctioned the
worship
  both of the Christian and the
heathen
  religions. Very little is known about his reign, which probably began soon after 600. For a time he recognized the overlordship of zEthelberht, king of Kent, but he seems to have shaken off the Kentish yoke. He gained some superiority over the
land
 
south
  of the Humber with the exception of Kent and is counted among the Bretwaldas. Rxdwald protected the fugitive Edwin, afterwards king of Northumbria, and in his interests he fought a sanguinary
battle
  with the reigning Northumbrian king, iEthelfrith, near Retford in
Nottinghamshire
 , where iEthelfrith was defeated' and killed in
April
  617. He was followed as king of the East Angles by his son Eorpwald.
See Bede, Historiae ecclesiasticae, edited by C. Plummer (
Oxford
 , 1896); and J. R. Green, The Making of England (1897-1899).
