Æthelweard of East Anglia
- Æthelweard of East Anglia
Æthelweard was of King of East Anglia in the middle of the 9th century.
As with his predecessor Æthelstan, textual evidence for Æthelweard's reign is very limited. However, numismatic evidence in the form of surviving coinage suggests that he was an independent ruler, not subject to Mercia or Wessex.
The date when Æthelweard became king is uncertain, but is conventionally dated to the middle or late 840s. It appears that he died in 854. He was succeeded as king by his fourteen-year-old son Edmund (Saint Edmund), who was said to have been crowned on 25 December 854.
