29-47 Egbert, King of WESSEX, son of Ealhmund, Under-King of Kent,was born about 784 in Wessex, England. He died after 19 Nov 838 in Wessex, England. He was buried in Wessex, England. He married Redburh in Wessex, England.
"Egbert was the son of Ealhmund, King of Kent. His mother is unknown but is possibly a daughter of Ethelbert II, King of Kent. As a young man Egbert aspired to great things, this led to his expulsion from England by Offa, King of Mercia and his son-in-law Beohrtric, King of Wessex in 789. Egbert fled to the Frankish court where Charlemagne took him in, here he meet his wife Raedburh, or Redburga, who was a daughter of Charlemagne's sister-in law.
On his return to England, Egbert peacefully ascended the throne. The Anglo-Saxon chronicle states in 802 that 'King Beohrtric passed away... and Egbert succeeded to the Kingdom of Wessex'. Nothing much of interest seems to have happened for the next 20 years, which is strange for the times but in 825 Egbert fought a battle at Ellendun, Wiltshire against Beornwulf, King of Mercia. He was victorious in what is recorded as a very bloody battle.
After this victory Egbert sent his son Ethelwulf into battle in Kent. He succeeded in driving King Baldred north of the Thames and soon Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, East Anglia had turned to Egbert to be their guardian and protector from the Mercians.
Beornwolf was slain by the East Angles to be followed quickly by two other Kings until in 829 Egbert conquered Mercia and thus everything south of the Humber, becoming the 8th Bretwalda or ruler of Britain. He spent his final years fighting the Danes as his successors would do, the Danes had allies in the Cornish but Egbert saw them off at Hingston Down. He died in 839 and is buried at Winchester."

“Charlemagne (Charles the Great) was born on April 2, 742 in Northern Europe. "By the sword and the cross," he became master of Western Europe. Through his enlightened leadership the roots of learning and order were restored to Medieval Europe. In 768, when Charlemagne was 26, he and his brother Carloman inherited the kingdom of the Franks. In 771 Carloman died, and Charlemagne became sole ruler of the kingdom. At that time the Franks were falling back into barbarian ways, neglecting their education and religion. The Saxons of northern Europe were still pagans. In the south, the Roman Catholic church was asserting its power to recover land confiscated by the Lombard kingdom of Italy. Europe was in turmoil. Charlemagne was determined to strengthen his realm and to bring order to Europe. In 772 he launched a 30-year military campaign to accomplish this objective. By 800 Charlemagne was the undisputed ruler of Western Europe. His vast realm encompassed what are now France, Switzerland, Belgium, and The Netherlands. It included half of present-day Italy and Germany, and parts of Austria and Spain. By establishing a central government over Western Europe, Charlemagne restored much of the unity of the old Roman Empire and paved the way for the development of modern Europe. On Christmas Day in 800, while Charlemagne knelt in prayer in Saint Peter's in Rome, Pope Leo III placed a golden crown on the bowed head of the king. Charlemagne is said to have been surprised by the coronation, declaring that he would not have come into the church had he known the pope's plan. However, some historians say the pope would not have dared to act without Charlemagne's knowledge. Charlemagne learned to read Latin and some Greek but apparently did not master writing. At meals, instead of having jesters perform, he listened to visiting scholars read from learned works. Charlemagne believed that government should be for the benefit of the governed. He was a tireless reformer who tried to improve his people's lives. He set up money standards to encourage commerce, urged better farming methods and worked to spread education and Christianity.”
“He was six feet four inches tall, and built to scale. He had blond hair,
animated eyes, a powerful nose ... a presence "always stately and dignified."
He was temperate in eating and drinking, abominated drunkenness, and kept
in good health despite every exposure and hardship.—Eginhard (the King's
secretary) describing Charlemagne”
