biographical
and/or anecdotal:
"Noble Wolf," son of Egbert, reigned from 839 to 857
in Wessex, England. During his reign the Danes miserably spoiled England, daring
to winter there for the first time. In 851 Ethelwulf routed them at Okely in Surrey.
By the advise of St. Swithin, Bishop of Winchester, he granted to the church the
tithe of all his dominions. He died January 13, 858. He married Lady Osburga (Osburh)
(Osberga), daughter of Earl Oslac, the royal cup-bearer.
