 | | Sir Frank Stenton ('Anglo-Saxon England'): "It seems clear that Wessex was once more a Mercian dependency when Æthelbald himself died a few months later." In fact, Æthelbald was assassinated, and Mercia underwent a period of instability as Offa established his authority. |  | | At that very time, however, Cenwalh was carried off by a sudden and early death." Back to the 'Ecclesiastical History of the English People', where Bede asserts that, when Cenwalh died ". |  | | The gradual reduction of East Anglia and the Danish midlands by the king of Wessex could never have been brought about if the Danish colonists of that country had been supported by a strong Northumbrian kingdom." |
