Eohric of East Anglia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Eohric of East Anglia
Eohric (died around 902) was king of East Anglia. The name ''Eohric'' is the Old English form of the Old Norse ''Eiríkr''. Little is known of Eohric or of the kingdom of East Anglia in his time. The ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' recorded that an army from East Anglia raided Mercia and Wessex, but then suffered defeat in East Anglia at the hands of forces led by Edward the Elder of Wessex. Eohric is listed as one of the Danish leaders that was killed. == Background ==
East Anglia had been attacked by the Viking Great Heathen Army in around 869 and Edmund (later known as Edmund the Martyr) killed by the Vikings. After Edmund's death East Anglia was ruled by Oswald and Æthelred (II), both of whom are known only from the evidence of a few coins. Their successor Guthrum, who fought against Alfred the Great, king of Wessex, appears to have been king of East Anglia in the 880s and issued coins in his own name. Guthrum died circa 890 and Eohric succeeded him as king.
