Historical Usage
Egbert was the king of Wessex from 802 to 839 AD during the Late Anglo-Saxon period. He is considered to be the first effective king of England as he successfully defeated Viking invaders and expanded his kingdom through diplomacy and strategic marriages.
Late Anglo-Saxon period (802-839 AD)
Egbert was also known for his role in the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity. He was a strong supporter of the missionary efforts led by St. Alphege and sent his son, Aethelwulf, to Rome to be crowned King of the Angles and thus gain recognition for his conversion efforts.
