Egbert is son of King Ealhmund of Wessex who descends from Cerdic, King of the West Saxons (reigned 519-34) - see AEM Charts. Cerdic led the Saxon conquest of Britain from the Briton tribes. Egbert is known as the first king of all England. He
succeeded to the throne in 802 and "overthrew the Mercian king Beornwulf in 825. This led to the annexation by Wessex of
Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Essex and the temporary recognition of West Saxon supremacy by Mercia." {-Encycl.Brit.,`56,23:520} His wife, Raedburh, is said to be a sister of the King of Franks. Egbert's later years saw many Danish Viking raids on England.

Alfred was one of the greatest military leaders in history; crowned at

Winchester Cathedral in 871; founded the British Navy; a scholar, etc.  The

Mercian kingdom ended during his reign "and in 886 Alfred's authority was

accepted by all Englishmen who were not under the power of the Danes.  From

this time onward the history of Wessex is the history of England."

{-Encyclopaedia Britannica, '56, 23:520; cf.8:483. Primary source is "Life

of King Alfred," Bishop Asser, trans. L. C. Jane (London: Chatto & Windus

Ltd., 1924).}

        ----- Compton's Encyclopedia (America Online, 1995) records:

ALFRED THE GREAT  (848?-899). The course of English history would have been

very different had it not been for King Alfred. He won renown both as a

statesman and as a warrior and is justly called "the Great."

   The England of Alfred's time was a country of four small Saxon kingdoms.

The strongest was Wessex, in the south. Born in about 848, Alfred was the

youngest son of Ethelwulf, king of Wessex. Each of Alfred's three older

brothers, in turn, ruled the kingdom. Alfred was by temperament a scholar,

and his health was never robust.

   Nevertheless in his early youth he fought with his brother Ethelred

against Danish invaders. Alfred was 23 when Ethelred died, but he had already

won the confidence of the army and was at once acclaimed king in 871. By this

time the Danes, or Vikings, had penetrated to all parts of the island. Three

of the Saxon kingdoms--Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia--had one after

another fallen to the Danish invaders.

   Under Alfred's leadership, the Saxons again found courage. The worst

crisis came in the winter of 877, when the Danish king, Guthrum, invaded

Wessex with his army. In 878 Alfred was defeated at Chippenham, where he was

celebrating Christmas, and was forced to go into hiding.

   A few months later he forced Guthrum to surrender at Chippenham. The Danes

agreed to make the Thames River and the old Roman road called Watling Street

the boundary between Alfred's kingdom and the Danish lands to the north. The

treaty, however, did not assure permanent peace. The Danes assaulted London

and the coast towns repeatedly. In about 896 they finally admitted defeat and

ceased their struggle for a foothold in southern England.

   Alfred was much more than the defender of his country. He took a keen

interest in law and order and was concerned with the improvement of the

cultural standards of his people. He encouraged industries of all kinds and

rebuilt London, which had been partly destroyed by the Danes. He collected

and revised the old laws of the kingdom. He invited learned men from other

countries to instruct the people because even the clergy of Wessex no longer

knew Latin, the international language of the church. He established a school

similar to the Palace School of Charlemagne.

   The "books most necessary for all men to know" were translated from Latin

into English so that the people might read them. Alfred himself took a part

in preparing the translations. The `Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' was probably begun

under his direction.

   Alfred died at the age of about 51 in 899. He was in no sense a true king

of England, for he ruled less than half of the island. After his death,

however, his capable son, Edward the Elder, and his grandsons extended their

rule over all of England.

From an Internet article at Ancestry.com:

  "A British and U.S. archaeological team believes it has found the grave of

King Alfred, the great Saxon king, best remembered for fighting off the Danes

in the ninth century. As then befitted a king of great piety, Alfred was

buried in 899 at the New Minster church in Winchester, 65 miles southwest

of London. His remains are thought to have been moved 200 years later to

Winchester's Hyde Abbey, one of the great medieval monasteries. But the

abbey was destroyed in 1538, and the site believed to be Alfred's tomb now

lies next to a parking lot."

committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged a part of the spoil which he had siezed to the churches, and amongst other acts of piety
restored Bardney Abbey, co. Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba." - Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages," 1883, p. 227. Gilbert is "son of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, by Maud, sister of

"The Scots Peerage," ed. by Sir James Balfour Paul, 4:135: "The first Lord
or Prince of Galloway on record is Fergus, styled `of Galloway', who
appears as a witness to a charter by King David I, granting land to the
Church of Glasgow on 7 July 1136 when that church was dedicated.... Little
is known of his personal history, but like King David I...he gave liberally
to the church, and was the founder of several abbeys in his own district.
...Towards the close of his life, and after King David's death, Fergus
appears to have been drawn by the claims of relationship to take part in
the insurrection of Donald MacBeth, or at least to afford him shelter in his
territories. There Donald was pursued by King Malcolm IV, who succeeded in
1160 in reducing the rebellious district to submission, and Fergus, perhaps
because of advancing age, took the cowl, and became a monk in the then new
Abbey of Holyrood, where he died in 1161. He is said to have married
Elizabeth, the youngest natural daughter of Henry I of England, but the
authorities quoted by Chalmers, who makes the statement, do not bear out
his assertion. However, Hovendon (who knew the Galloway chiefs personally)
and Benedict Abbas both refer to Uchtred, eldest son of Fergus, as cousin
of Henry II. This epithet is NOT applied to Gilbert, and he may be a son

Cospatrick was Earl of Northumberland (1067-72), first Earl of Dunbar (1072-75), Lord of Carlisle and Allerdale. He m. a sister of Edmund.{-Carr P. Collins, "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas, 1959, p. 229)} One lineage states that he is
son of Maldred, Lord of Carlisle and Allerdale, who was slain in battle in 1045 and whose wife is Edith of England - Maldred is son of Crinan the Thane and Bethoc. Created Earl by William the Conqueror, he was soon deprived of the earldom and fled to
Scotland where King Malcolm Canmore gave him Dunbar and adjoining lands. Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages" (London, 1883) reports "The monks of Durham celebrated 15 December, 1069, the death of this Cospatricius, Earl and Monk; and, in 1821, a
stone coffin inscribed on its lid, `+ Cospatricius Comes,' was found in the monks' burial ground at Durham."
"The Scots Peerage," James Balfour Paul (Edinburg: David Douglas, 1906), pp. 241-3, also gives Maldred (or Malcolm, ID 3257) as his father. Cospatric I visited Rome in 1061; his wife was a sister of Edmund per "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992), 34-22.

[Line from "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p. 88, 100:] Gilbert "accompanied his uncle [William the Conqueror] into England, and participating in the triumph of Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of a Danish
proprietor, named Tour, with numerous other lordships. This Gilbert happened to be in York, anno 1069, and had a narrow escape, when the Danes, in great force on behalf of Edgar Etheling, entered the mouth of the Humber, and marching upon that city,
committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged a part of the spoil which he had siezed to the churches, and amongst other acts of piety
restored Bardney Abbey, co. Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba." - Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages," 1883, p. 227. Gilbert is "son of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, by Maud, sister of
William the Conqueror".

Henry I had 20 or 21 bastard children re: N.E.Hist.Gen.Register 4/1965, pp.95-96. His form of government was "severe and grasping; but he `kept good peace' and honorably distinguished himself among contemporary statesmen in an age when administrative
reform was in the air. He spent more time in Normandy than in England. But he showed admirable judgment in
his choice of subordinates...." -Encyclopedia Britannica (1956 Ed., 11:432). He was King of England, 1100-35, and Duke of Normandy (1106-35); his coronation at Westminster Abbey was on Sunday, 08-05-1100. Thomas B. Costain offers a popular account of
his reign in "The Conquering Family" (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1949, pp.43-77). The "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" described him as the "lion of justice."
