Ealdred was styled as Dux (Duke) by Offa (the king of Mercia) of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Hwicce but considered himself as King, jointly ruling with his brothers Eanberht and Uhtred in the later half of the 8th century AD. In 757 Eanberht, Uhtred, and Ealdred, granted land to Bishop Milred,〔 http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+55〕 and in 759 to Abbot Headda. 〔http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+56〕 In 778 a charter of king Offa of Mercia Ealdred is styled as Dux of the Hwicce (Duke) in the charter Ealdred received a grant of land from Offa,〔http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+113〕It seems that soon after Ealdred's death Offa absorbed Hwicce but possibly kept Ealdred's relatives as Ealdorman. ==See also== *Hwicce 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ealdred, king of the Hwicce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
