Details
Beorhtric was the King of Wessex from 786 to 802. In 786, Cynewulf, king of Wessex, was killed by the exiled noble Cyneheard, brother of the former King Sigeberht. Beorhtric's successful bid for the throne was supported by Offa, king of the Mercians against Egbert. It is not entirely clear why Offa intervened in Beorhtric's favour, though it seems likely that the opportunity to influence West Saxon politics, and thus preserve the Mercian Ascendancy were important factors. Additionally, it is suggested that Egbert was a descendant of the Kentish dynasty that, under Eahlmund, had rebelled against Offa's rule and beaten him at the battle of Otford. To an extent, Beorhtric seems to have been subject to Offa's authority
