Æthelheard of the Hwicce

Æthelheard of the Hwicce

Æthelheard, King of Hwicce (one of the Anglo Saxon kingdoms of England) jointly with his presumed brothers Æthelweard, Æthelberht, and Æthelric. It is probable that they were all sons of Oshere, although the paternity of Æthelheard and Æthelberht is not explicitly stated in surviving documents.

In 692, together with Æthelweard, issued a charter to Abbess Cuthswith [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+1177] , and also witnessed a charter of Æthelred, King of Mercia [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=get&type=charter&id=75] , together with Æthelweard, Æthelberht, and Æthelric. In 693 the four brothers witnessed a charter issued by their father Oshere [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=get&type=charter&id=53] .

The only time that he is styled "rex" appears to be in the possibly genuine witness list attached to a spurious charter attributed to Cenred, King of Mercia in 709 [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=get&type=charter&id=79] .
