So also had Ethelwulf himself, who seemed less stately than yesterday when he sat in his royal attire in full court.
Ethelwulf, son of Egbert, sometimes styled the first king of England, died.
He was the grandson of Egbert, a great man, and the son of Ethelwulf, a man of mediocre qualities.
Ethelwulf appears to have been in some respects a weak, but by no means a cruel prince.
Ethelwulf became later in life a monk at Winchester, where he had been educated, and he died there.
