Ceolred of Mercia
Ceolred (died 716) was King of Mercia from 709 to 716.
== Mercia at the end of the 7th century ==
By the end of the 7th century, England was almost entirely divided into kingdoms ruled by the Anglo-Saxons, who had come to Britain two hundred years earlier. The kingdom of Mercia occupied what is now the English Midlands,〔Yorke, "The Origins of Mercia" in Brown & Farr, ''Mercia'', pp. 15–16.〕 bordered by Northumbria to the north, East Anglia to the east, and Wessex, the kingdom of the West Saxons, to the south. Essex, the kingdom of the East Saxons, included London and lay between East Anglia and the kingdom of Kent.〔Yorke, ''Kings and Kingdoms''.〕
The main source for this period is Bede’s ''Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum'', completed in about 731. Despite its focus on the history of the church, this work provides valuable information about the early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Bede had informants who supplied him with details of the church's history in Wessex and Kent, but he appears to have had no such contact in Mercia.〔Yorke, ''Kings and Kingdoms'', p. 100.〕 Charters of Ceolred's, recording royal grants of land to individuals and to religious houses, also survive,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Anglo-Saxons.net: S 54 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Anglo-Saxons.net: S 65 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Anglo-Saxons.net: S 81 )〕 as does the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'', compiled in Wessex at the end of the 9th century, but incorporating earlier material.〔Simon Keynes, "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle", in ''Blackwell Encyclopedia'', p. 35.〕
