Notes:

Egbert was King of Wessex in England from 802 to his death. The King of Mercia
drove him into exile in 789. Egbert lived in Gaul for three years, where he
saw the expansion of Charlemagne's empire. After gaining the West Saxon throne,
Egbert destroyed the supremacy of Mercia in England. By conquering Cornwall,
Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, he permantely enlarged Wessex and made his kingdom
supreme. The Mercians, East Anglians, and Northumbrians recognized his
overlordship. His reign forshadowed the later growth of a united kingdom of
England.
