Encyclopedia Britannica



WULFHERE (d. 675)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 855 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WULFHERE (d. 675) , king of the Mercians, was a younger son of King
Penda
 , and was kept in concealment for some time after his father's defeat and death in 655. In 658 or 659, however, the Mercians threw off the supremacy of Oswio, king of Northumbria, and
Wulfhere
  became their king. He took energetic
measures
  to spread Christianity, and was greatly helped by his
bishop
 , Jaruman, and afterwards by St Chad. Outside Mercia he did something to induce the
East
  and the
South
 
Saxons
  to accept Christianity, and is said to have founded one or two monasteries. He gained
Lindsey
  from Northumbria in 6J7, and was successful against Wessex. He extended his borders in all directions, and was the founder of the passing greatness of Mercia, although he lost
Lindsey
  just before his death.
Wulfhere
 's wife was Eormenhild, a daughter of Erconberht, king of Kent, and he was succeeded by his brother Aethelred. His only son Coenred became king in 704 in succession to Aethelred. His only daughter was St Werburga or Werburh, abbess of Ely.
See Bede, Historia ecclesiastica, ed. C. Plummer (
Oxford
 , 1896) ; and J. R. Green, The Making of England (18971899).
