MEDIEVAL LANDS

BAUDOUIN de Flandre ([980]-30 May 1035). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names "Balduinum Barbatum" as son of "Arnulfus…et…Ruzelam quæ et Susanna"[187]. He succeeded his father in 987 as BAUDOUIN IV "le Barbu/Pulchrae Barbae" Count of Flanders, presumably under a regency considering his youth although the name of the regent has not yet been identified. Hugues Capet King of France recognised Baudouin's claim to all of Flanders, including the part previously taken by King Lothaire, and also arranged Baudouin´s mother's second marriage to the king´s son and heir, apparently as a reward for Flemish help when he seized power in 987[188]. "Baldwinus marchysus cum matre sua Susanna" donated "villam Aflingehem…jacentem in pago Tornacinse" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, after the death of "Arnulfi marchysi", by charter dated 1 Apr 988, signed by "…Waldberto advocato, Theoderico comite, Arnulfo comite, Artoldo comite, Baldwino comite, item Arnulfo comite…"[189]. After Count Baudouin's mother returned to Flanders following her repudiation, France retained Montreuil-sur-Mer, which provoked Flanders into joining a rebellion against King Hugues. The result was the return of Artois and Ostrevant to Flanders, although Ponthieu remained with France[190]. Count Baudouin established control over the northern part of the Ternois, including Thérouanne, Fauquembergues and Saint-Omer, which were previously under the suzerainty of the county of Boulogne[191]. "Susanna regina…cum filio suo Baldwino" donated "alodem suum…in pago Flandrensi…in Holtawa…in Fresnere…in Clemeskirca…in Jatbeka…in Sclefteta…" to Saint-Pierre de Gand by charter dated 1 Jun 1003[192]. Baudouin captured the march of Valenciennes from Germany in 1006, but lost it in the following year when Emperor Heinrich II invaded Flanders and captured Gent. Count Baudouin subsequently arranged an alliance with the emperor who, in 1012, helped him install a new bishop of Cambrai, and enfeoffed him with the islands of Zeeland and, in 1015, with Valenciennes. The emperor, however, invaded Flanders again in 1020, supported this time by Robert King of France[193]. Count Baudouin arranged the betrothal of his son to the French king's daughter to help restore good relations[194]. His son rebelled against Baudouin after 1028. Count Baudouin was forced to take refuge in Normandy, where he married the duke's daughter and from where he returned to Flanders with reinforcements. His son submitted, but his father permitted him to rule jointly[195]. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1035 of "Balduinus, gloriosus marchisus"[196]. The Annales Elnonenses Minores record the death in 1035 of "Balduinus comes filius Susannæ"[197].

m firstly ([1012]) OGIVE de Luxembourg, daughter of FRIEDRICH Graf im Moselgau Vogt von Stablo [Wigeriche] & his wife --- heiress of Gleiberg [Konradiner] (-21 Feb or 9 Mar 1030, bur Gent St Peter). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names "filiam Gisleberti comitis Odgivam" as wife of "Balduinum Barbatum"[198], the marriage presumably being arranged by Emperor Heinrich II as part of the alliance negotiated in 1012. Ogive is shown as daughter of Graf Friedrich in Europäische Stammtafeln[199]. There is no reference to Friedrich's older brother Gislebert having married and had children. The chronology does not favour Ogive being the daughter of Giselbert, son of Friedrich. It is therefore assumed that the reference to "Gisleberti comitis" is an error, although the primary source has not yet been identified which confirms that Friedrich was Ogive's father. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1030 of "Odgiva comitissa"[200]. The Memorial of "Odgiva…Balduino domino" records her death "IX Mar"[201].

m secondly ([after 1030]) [ELEONORE] de Normandie, daughter of RICHARD II Duke of Normandy & his first wife Judith de Rennes [Brittany]. The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana refers to "filiam secundi Ricardi ducis Normannorum" as wife of "Balduinum Barbatum" after the death of Ogive[202]. The Annalista Saxo states that the mother of Judith was "cognatione beati Ethmundi regis", without naming her or giving a more precise origin[203]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that Duke Richard and his wife Judith had three daughters, of whom the second (unnamed) married "Baudouin de Flandre"[204]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Count Baudouin IV & his first wife had one child:

a) BAUDOUIN de Flandre ([1012/13]-Lille 1 Sep 1067, bur Lille St Pierre). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names "Balduinum Insulanum" son of "Balduinum Barbatum [et] Odgivam"[205]. He succeeded his father in 1035 as BAUDOUIN V "le Pieux/Insulanus" Count of Flanders.

Count Baudouin IV & his second wife had one child:

b) JUDITH de Flandre ([1033]-[5] Mar 1094, bur St Martin Monastery). The Annalista Saxo names "Iudhita…amita Rodberti comitis de Flandria ex cognatione beati Ethmundi regis" as husband of "Haroldi" (in error for Tostig) but correctly names her second husband "Welphus filius Azzonis marchionis Italorum"[206]. The Genealogia Welforum names "filiam comitis Flandrie, reginam Anglie, Iuditam nomine" as wife of Welf[207]. Florence of Worcester says that Judith was "daughter of Baldwin Count of Flanders" but does not specify which Count Baldwin, nor is this clear from the context[208]. According to the Vita Ædwardi Regis, Judith was the sister of Count Baudouin V[209]. On the other hand, Alberic de Trois Fontaines asserts that Judith was one of the children of Baudouin V Count of Flanders and his wife Adela de France[210], but there are other clear errors in Alberic's listing of this couple's children so the statement should be viewed with caution. Judith is also listed as the daughter of Count Baudouin V (after Mathilde) in a manuscript whose attribution to Orderic Vitalis is disputed, which also shows her first marriage[211]. The date of her first marriage is confirmed by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which records that she fled with her husband and parents-in-law after the Council of 9 Sep 1051[212]. Judith moved to Denmark after her first husband was killed. "Dux Gewelfo eiusque…uxor Iudita" donated property to Kloster Weingarten, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Gwelfonis et Heinrici", dated 12 Mar 1094[213]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1094 IV Non Mar" of "Iuditha uxor ducis Welfonis Baioariæ" and her burial "apud monasterium…Sancti Martini" built by her husband[214]. The necrology of Raitenbuch records the death "III Non Mar" of "Iudinta regina Anglie, filia marchionis de Este uxor Welfonis nostri fundatoris"[215], exaggerating her status resulting from her first marriage and confusing her paternity. The necrology of Weingarten records the death "III Non Mar" of "Judita dux regina Anglie"[216], also exaggerating her status resulting from her first marriage. m firstly (before Sep 1051) TOSTIG Godwinson, son of GODWIN Earl of Wessex & his wife Gytha of Denmark ([1025/30]-killed in battle Stamford Bridge 25 Sep 1066). He was created Earl of Northumbria in 1055[217]. m secondly ([1071]) as his second wife, WELF I Duke of Bavaria [Este], son of ALBERTO AZZO II Marchese d'Este & his first wife Kunigunde von Altdorf [Este] ([1030/40]-Paphos Cyprus 9 Nov 1101, bur Weingarten, near Lake Constance).

------------------------------ WIKIPEDIA (fr.) Baudouin IV de Flandre[1], dit Baudouin le Barbu ou Baudouin Belle-Barbe (° 980 - † 30 mai 1035[2]). Comte de Flandre (987 - 1035). Fils du comte Arnoul II et de Rozala de Toscane (v. 950 - 1003)

Son surnom est dû à sa brune et large barbe, merveilleusement belle et bien séante[3].

Résumé de sa vie Baudouin se préoccupa particulièrement de l'est et du nord de son comté, laissant la partie méridionale dans les mains de ses vassaux, les comtes de Guines, de Hesdin, et de Saint-Pol.

En 1006, Baudouin IV s'empara de la ville de Valenciennes, en terre d'empire. En conséquence, il dut faire face à une coalition réunissant le roi de Germanie Henri II, le roi Robert le Pieux et le duc Richard II de Normandie. L'expédition fut un échec pour cette coalition.

Détail de sa vie Baudouin IV est encore mineur à la mort de son père ; le châtelain de Gand, Gilbod, en profite pour se proclamer comte indépendant. La révolte est matée une fois le comte de Flandre majeur.

Aux environs de l’an 1000, l’empereur Otton avait créé une marche militaire à Anvers pour contrer les expéditions militaires flamandes dirigées vers l’Est. Le souverain germanique Henri II entre en lutte vers 1006/1007 contre Baudouin IV, qui prend parti pour les comtes de Louvain et de Namur, lesquels refusent la suzeraineté, imposée par Henri II, du duc de Basse Lotharingie Godefroid Ier d’Ardenne. Baudouin s’empare de Valenciennes, et s’y maintient malgré un siège soutenu par Henri II et ses alliés, le roi de France Robert II et le duc de Normandie Richard II. La venue de l'hiver les oblige à lever le siège.

Changeant d’objectif, Henri II se saisit au printemps suivant de Gand et s’empare d’un important butin, tant matériel qu’humain. Baudouin est obligé de rendre Valenciennes et de se soumettre à Aix-la-Chapelle, ce qu’accepte d’autant plus aisément Henri II que le pouvoir du comte de Flandre est un sérieux contrepoids face aux comtes de Namur et de Louvain. Vers 1012 - 1015, le souverain germanique lui remet même en fief Valenciennes et plusieurs îles de Zélande (Walcheren, Borssele, Noord-Beveland et Zuid-Beveland, Wolphaartsdijk).

Après avoir fait épouser Adèle de France, fille du roi Robert II, à son fils, le futur Baudouin V, il doit essuyer une révolte de ce dernier, qui s’est mis à la tête de barons mécontents. Baudouin IV est même chassé de son comté et doit se réfugier en Normandie. Avec le puissant appui de son protecteur, le duc Robert, il récupère néanmoins très rapidement ses possessions et en matant la rébellion et en soumettant son fils à Audenarde, 12 septembre 1028.

Sous son gouvernement, Dunkerque est fondée ; Bruges reçoit les premières libertés communales de Flandre et des murailles commencent à ceindre la ville de Lille. Baudouin IV a dû faire face au danger d’émiettement féodal, qui avait frappé à un niveau de maillage plus lâche tout l’empire carolingien au siècle précédent. Il a affirmé son autorité dans ses états de deux façons : d’une manière très ferme sur sa région de base, c’est-à-dire les pays de Gand, de Bruges, de Lille et de St-Omer ; d’une façon plus discrète sur le reste du territoire. On note ainsi l’émergence de plusieurs familles nobles (Aubigny, Béthune, Faucquembergue, Houdain, Lens, Lillers, Pas, Phalempin, Wavrin): vers 993-994, Baudouin IV a en effet institué les “comitati” ("comtés"), à l’origine quatre circonscriptions administratives, qui, en se fractionnant donneront naissance au onzième siècle aux châtellenies, dont les familles mentionnées ont la responsabilité, sans être seigneurs de la terre. Un moyen pour le comte de garder la mainmise sur l’ensemble de son territoire, sans devoir agir directement sur chacun de ses éléments.

Il imposa également la Trêve de Dieu dans les diocèses d'Arras et de Tournai. Baudouin IV est le véritable fondateur de la puissance flamande dans ses limites historiques.

Mariage et enfants Vers 1012, il épouse en premières noces Ogive de Luxembourg (v. 990 † 1030), fille de Frédéric de Luxembourg, comte en Moselgau, et a deux enfants :

* Baudouin V (1012 † 1067), comte de Flandre * Ermengarde, mariée à Adalbert († 1032), comte de Gand
Veuf, il se remarie en avril 1031 avec Éléonore de Normandie (v. 1010 † v. 1071), fille de Richard II, duc de Normandie, et de Judith de Bretagne. Ils ont :

* Judith (1037 † 1094), mariée en 1058 à Tostig Godwinson († 1066), comte de Northumbrie, puis vers 1071 Welf IV († 1101), duc de Bavière * Une fille, mariée avec Régnier de Louvain, châtelain à Ename en 1033/1034, fils du comte Lambert Ier de Louvain.
--------------------------------

WIKIPEDIA (Eng) Baldwin IV of Flanders (980–May 30, 1035[1])[2], known as the Bearded, was Count of Flanders from 988 until his death. He was the son of Arnulf II, Count of Flanders. His mother was Rozala of Lombardy.

History In contrast to his predecessors Baldwin turned his attention to the east and north, leaving the southern part of his territory in the hands of his vassals the counts of Guînes, Hesdin, and St. Pol.

To the north of the county Baldwin was given Zeeland as a fief by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry II, while on the right bank of the Scheldt river he received Valenciennes (1013) and parts of the Cambresis and Hainaut.

In the French territories of the count of Flanders, the supremacy of the Baldwin remained unchallenged. They organized a great deal of colonization of marshland along the coastline of Flanders and enlarged the harbour and city of Brugge.

Family Baldwin first married Ogive of Luxembourg, daughter of Frederick of Luxembourg, by whom he had a son and heir Baldwin V.

He later married Eleanor of Normandy, daughter of Richard II of Normandy, by whom he had at least one daughter Judith who married Tostig Godwinson and Welf I, Duke of Bavaria.

His granddaughter, Matilda of Flanders, would go on to marry William the Conqueror, therefore starting the line of Anglo-Norman Kings of England.

Baldwin IV "fought successively both against the Capetian king of France and the emperor Henry II" who was forced to grant him "in fief Valenciennes, the burggraveship of Ghent, the land of Waes and Zeeland. The count of Flanders thus became a feudatory of the empire as well as of the French crown. The French fiefs are known in Flemish history as Crown Flanders, the German fiefs as Imperial Flanders." {Encycl. Brit., 1956, 9:356} His nickname is "Handsome Beard". He m.

He fought successfully both against the Capetian king of France, Robert II, and the Holy Roman emperor Henry II. Henry found himself obliged to grant to Baldwin IV in fief Valenciennes, the burgraveship of Ghent, the land of Waes, and Zeeland. The count of Flanders thus became a feudatory of the empire as well as of the French crown. The French fiefs are known in Flemish history as Crown Flanders(Kroon-Vlaanderen), the German fiefs as Imperial Flanders(Rijks-Vlaanderen). Baldwin's son--afterwards Baldwin V--rebelled in 1028 against his father at the instigation of his wife Adela, daughter of Robert II of France; but two years later peace was sworn at Oudenaarde,and the old count continued to reign until his death.

Was also called "The Great." 3rd Count of Flanders (918-964, 962-964)

Arnulf of Flanders (c. 890 – March 28, 965), called the Great, was the third Count of Flanders, who ruled the County of Flanders, an area that is now northwestern Belgium and southwestern Netherlands.

Life

Arnulf was the son of count Baldwin II of Flanders and Ælfthryth of Wessex, daughter of Alfred the Great.[1] Through his mother he was a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon kings of England, and through his father, a descendant of Charlemagne.[2] Presumably Arnulf was named after Saint Arnulf of Metz, a progenitor of the Carolingian dynasty.[3]

At the death of their father in 918, Arnulf became Count of Flanders while his brother Adeloft or Adelolf succeeded to the County of Boulogne.[1] However, in 933 Adeloft died, and Arnulf took the countship of Boulogne for himself, but later conveyed it to his nephew, Arnulf II.[4]

Arnulf I greatly expanded Flemish rule to the south, taking all or part of Artois, Ponthieu, Amiens, and Ostrevent. He exploited the conflicts between Charles the Simple and Robert I of France, and later those between Louis IV and his barons.

In his southern expansion Arnulf inevitably had conflict with the Normans, who were trying to secure their northern frontier. This led to the 942 murder of the Duke of Normandy, William Longsword, at the hands of Arnulf's men.[5] The Viking threat was receding during the later years of Arnulf's life, and he turned his attentions to the reform of the Flemish government.

Family

The name of Arnulf's first wife is unknown but he had at least one daughter by her:[6]

Name unknown; married Isaac of Cambrai. Their son Arnulf succeeded his father as Count of Cambrai.[6] In 934 he married Adele of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert II of Vermandois.[1] Their children were:

Hildegarde, born c. 934, died 990; she married Dirk II, Count of Holland. It is uncertain whether she is his daughter by his first or second wife.[6]
Liutgard, born in 935, died in 962; married Wichmann IV, Count of Hamaland.[1]
Egbert, died 953.[1]
Baldwin III of Flanders (c. 940 – 962), married Mathilde of Saxony († 1008), daughter of Hermann Billung.[1]
Elftrude; married Siegfried, Count of Guînes.[1]
Succession

Arnulf made his eldest son and heir Baldwin III of Flanders co-ruler in 958, but Baldwin died untimely in 962, so Arnulf was succeeded by Baldwin's infant son, Arnulf II of Flanders.[1]

Rond het jaar 1000 Een fabel De jonge vrouw Tedburgha van Staveren uit Castricum ontmoet rond het jaar 1000 bij het toen nog houten kasteel Brederode de man van haar dromen: Sivaert, de tweede zoon van de machtige graaf Arnoud van Holland. Sivaert wordt de eerste heer van het huis Brederode en stamvader van de Van Brederode's. Maar dit gebeurt niet zonder slag of stoot. Tedburgha is van een lagere stand dan de zonen van de graaf en zij krijgen ruzie over het voorgenomen huwelijk. Uiteindelijk mogen Sivaert en Tedburgha toch trouwen. Zij gaan wonen in het kasteel waar ze elkaar voor het eerst hebben gezien: en waarvan nu alleen nog de ruïne over is. De verwoeste zuid-oosttoren van het kasteel Brederode staat vandaag de dag nog bekend als de Tetburgatoren. Op de voorgrond het restand van de Tetburgiatoren Volgens deze zogeheten Sivaert Brederode-legende stamt de familie Van Brederode rechtstreeks af van de graven van Holland. Een Van Brederode stelt een - naar later blijkt - onjuiste stamboom op in een poging te bewijzen dat zijn voorvaderen graven van Holland zijn. Sivaert (de Friezen noemden hem Sicco) sterft in 1033. Hij laat twee zonen na, Diederik en Simon.

A History of the English Speaking People Winston S Churchill Vol I The Birth of Britain Dodd Mead & Co 1956 p128: "Edward's sister had been, as we have seen, married to Earl Ethelred of Mercia. Ethelred died in 911, and his widow, Ethelfleda, succeeded and supassed him. In those savage times the mergence of a woman ruler was enough to betoken her possession of extraordinary qualities. Edward the Elder, as he was afterwards called, and his sister, the Lady of the Mercians,' conducted the national war in common, and carried its success to heights which Alred never knew. The policy of the two kingdoms, thus knit by blood and need, marched in perfect harmony, and the next onslaught of Danes was met with confident alacrity and soon broken. The victors then set themselves deliberately to the complete conquest of the Danelaw and its Five Boroughs. This task occupied the next ten years, brother and sister advancing in concert upon their respective lines, and fortifying towns they took at every stage. In 918, when Edward stormed Tempsford, near Bedford, and King Guthrum was killed, the whole resistance of East Anglia collapsed, and all the Danish leaders submitted to Edward as their protector and lord. They were granted in return their estates and the right to live according to their Danish customs. At the same time the Lady of the Mercians' conquered Leicester, and received even from York offers ofsubmission. In this hour of success Ethelfleda died, and Edward, hastening to Tamworth, was invited by the nobles of Mercia to occupy the vacant throne."

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1981, Micropaedia, Vol III, p799, Edward the Elder: "[Edward's]sister, the Mercian ruler Aethelflaed, constructed a complementary series of fortresses in the northwest Midlands. In 917 Edward and Aethelflaed launched a massive offensive, quickly overwhelming the entire Danish army of East Anglia. Upon Aethelflaed's death in June 918, Edward assumed control of Mercia..."

Vol I, p116, Aethelflaed: "also Ethelfleda, called Lady of the Mercians, Died 12 Jun 918 Tamworth (now in Staffordshire), Anglo-Saxon ruler of Mercia in England. The daughter of Alfred the Great,...Aethelflaed became the effective ruler of Mercia some years before the death (911) of her husband, Aethelred, Ealdorman of the Mercians...captured Derby occupied Leicester but died before the campaign was successfully completed. Edward then claimed his sister's kingdom and completed the subjugation of the Danes. Because Aethelflaed had extended her influence into Wales and Northumbria, Edward was able to assert his authority over these regions as well. Thus, almost all of England came under his control."

The New Columbia Encyclopedia, 1975, p175, Athelstan: "...As a youth he lived in the household of his aunt, Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians..."

From Alfred to Henry III 871-1272, Christopher Brooke, 1961, Norton Library History of England, p43: "...In 886 [Alfred] captured London, and put it in charge of his close ally, Ethelred, Ealdorman of the Mercians, who shortly after married Alfred's daughter, Aethelflaed..."

p50: "...Ethelred,Ealdorman of Mercia, died in 911, but co-operation did not cease with his death. His place was filled by his wife, Edward's sister, Aethelflaed, Lady of the Mercians', who continued her husband's work in close association with her brother until her own death in 918; from then on Wessex and Mercia were united..."

"...After the Ealdorman Ethelred's death in 911, Edward took over London and the south-east Midlands, leaving the rest of English Mercia to Aethelflaed. The building offortresses and the advance east and north went on steadily through the following years. In 914 Aethelflaed built a fortress at Eddisbury (Cheshire) and at Warwick; in 917 she captured Derby; in 918 Leicester, and but for her death that year she might have received the submission of York. In 912 Edward built a burh at Herford, and prepared for campaigns to east and north. In 914 and 915 he received the submission of Bedford and Northampton; in 916 he built a burh at Maldon in Essex;in 917 he and his followers defeated a great counteroffensive mounted by the Danes, and occupied Essex and East Anglia, restoring the burh at Colchester. In 918 he was at Stamford and Nottingham. These places had been two of the crucial Danishcentres of power south of the Humber; it is likely that a third, Lincoln, also submitted to Edward in thsi year. By these surrenders he became lord of the Danelaw up to the line of the Humber; by his sister's death he was lord of Mercia; and inthe same year the kings of several leading Welsh kingdoms accepted his overlordship.

"The offer by the Danes of York to submit to Aethelflaed- an offer not repeated to Edward after her death- was partly inspired by the progress of anotherViking power, this time of Norse origin and leadership..."

The Formation of England 550-1042, HPR Finberg, 1977, Paladin, p127: "...In 885 the Danes in East Anglia broke the peace. Alfred reacted strongly, and in the following year took London by storm. London had long been a Mercian town, and Alfred refrained from annexing it to his own kingdom. Ceolwulf II, the last English king of Mercia, being now presumably dead, the part of Mercia not under Danish rule was governed by an ealdorman named Ethelred. Alfred entrusted the government of London to him and gave him his daughter Aethelflaed in marriage. Thus far Mercian independence was respected, but Ethelred never assumed the kingly title, and was content to reign as Alfred's viceroy...

p145: "The possibility that [the Norwegian immigrants crossing from Ireland and settling in the north-west] might make common cause with the independent Danish forces in eastern England naturally alarmed the government of English Mercia. The ealsorman Ethelred, as loyal to King Edward as he had been to Edward's father, was now a sick man, and responsibility devolved upon his wife, Alfred's daughter Aethelflaed. In 907 she repaired the walls of Chester and placed a garrison there to control disaffection in Wirral..."

"In 911 Ethelred of Mercia died, and Aethelflaed acquiesced when Edward annexed London and Oxford to his own kingdom. The doughty princess, half Mercian by descent on her mother's side, was known as the Lady of the Mercians. For the rest of her life she collaborated loyally and effectively with her brother in a campaign to subdue the independent Danish armies in England.

"The key to their strategy was the extension of the system devised by Alfred, of building fortresses, boroughs', to protect English territory from Danish inroads and to serve as bases for operations against the enemy... Meanwhile Aethelflaed fortified Sceargeat, a place as yet unidentified, and Bridgenorth on the Severn, a favourite crossing place of Danish war-bands. In 913 she built fortresses at Tamworth to protect the Mercian border from attack by the Danes of Leicester, and at Stafford to bar entry into the valley of the Trent. Next year she repaired a prehistoric camp at Eddisbury from which a garrison could intercept raiders landing from the Mersey. She also fortified Warwick...In 915 Aethelflaed secured her frontier with mid-Wales by a fort at Chirbury and guarded the head of the Mersey with one at Runcorn. By 916 a line of fortresses from Essex to the Mersey, eleven of them built or repaired by Aethelflaed, sixteen by Edward, menaced the Danes, who hurled themselves against them in vain. The last known Danish king of East Anglia perished in battle. Within a year the army of Northampton surrendered, Huntingdon was occupied, the armies of Cambridge and East Anglia submitted to Edward, and Derby, the first of the five principal Danish boroughs, was taken by Aethelflaed. There remained Leicester, Nottingham, Stamford, and Lincoln. In 918 Edward advanced to Stamford and overawed the Danes there into submission, while Aethelflaed made her entry unopposed into Leicester. Before the end of the year Nottingham had surrendered and all England south of the Humber acknowledged Edward as its master.

"Throughout this masterly campaign, brilliantly conceived and prosecuted with unwavering determination, the Lady of the Mercians acted in perfect accord with her brother. Both of them displayed generalship of the highest order. By contrast, the lack of cohesion between the various Danish armies weakened their resistance to the victorious pair. But Aethelflaed did not live to see the final triumph. She died on 12 June 918, leaving one child, a daughter Aelfwynn. To forestall any separatist tendency, Edward promptly occupied Tamworth, received the submission of the Mercians, and took command of their levies. Then he completed Aethelflaed's defences of her northern frontier by building a new fortress at Thelwall, and repairing the Roman fortifications of Manchester, meanwhile allowing Aelfwynn to exercise nominal authority in her mother's place. But the arrangement lasted less than a twelvemonth. In the winter of 919 Edward deported his niece into Wessex, where she presumably ended her days in a convent. This masterful act may or may not have been welcome to the Mercians, but it swept away thelast vestige of their independence."

Alfredo el Grande, también llamado Ælfred, del anglosajón: Ælfrēd (849 - 26 de octubre de 899) o san Alfredo el Grande, fue rey de Wessex desde 871 hasta su muerte. Se hizo célebre por defender su reino contra los vikingos, convirtiéndose como resultado de esto en el único rey de su dinastía en ser llamado «El Grande» o Magno por su pueblo. Fue también el primer rey de Wessex que se autoproclamó rey de los anglosajones. Su vida se conoce gracias a Asser, cronista galés. Hombre culto y letrado, ayudó mucho a la educación y a mejorar el sistema de leyes de su reino. Si bien no ha sido canonizado1​ (y no es mencionado por el elenco oficial de santos de la Iglesia católica, el Martirologio romano), fue considerado santo con su fiesta el 26 de octubre.2​3​

En 855, al morir su madre, acompañó a su padre a un peregrinaje a Roma, y a su regreso pasó una temporada en la corte del rey Carlos el Calvo de Francia; entonces Ethelwulfo se casó en segundas nupcias con la hija del rey francés, Judit.

Ethelwulfo muere el 13 de enero de 858 y es sucedido por su segundo hijo, Ethelbaldo, quien se casa con su madrastra Judit.

Nada se sabe de los siguientes años de Alfredo durante los reinados de sus dos hermanos mayores, Ethelbaldo y Ethelberto que se sucedieron rápidamente. Fue en el reinado del tercer hermano —cuarto en orden de nacimiento—, Etelredo I, cuando el joven Alfredo comenzó su vida pública y brillante carrera militar contra los vikingos. Según el cronista Asser, gracias a sus éxitos militares le fue concedido el título de secundarius o correy, siendo posiblemente aprobado en este cargo por el Consejo Real para evitar problemas en la sucesión en caso de que el rey muriera en batalla, aunque con ello se desheredaba a los dos hijos de Etelredo.

Matrimonio y descendencia
Se casó en la localidad de Winchester, en el año 868, con Ethelswhita, hija de Etelredo, señor de Gainsborough y descendiente de los reyes de Mercia por línea materna. De este matrimonio nacieron seis hijos:

Ethelfleda ( 869-Tamworth, Staffordshire, 12 de junio de 918), reina de Mercia al suceder a su marido (911); casada con el rey Etelredo II de Mercia (m. 911).
Eduardo (872-Farndon-on-Dee, 17 de julio de 924), apodado «el Viejo», sucede a su padre como rey de Wessex.
Ethelgiva (875-896), monja, abadesa en Shaftesbury (Dorset).
Elfrida (877-7 de junio de 929), casada con Balduino II, conde de Flandes (864-918) e hijo del tercer matrimonio de la madrastra de su padre, Judit.
Æthelweard (880-26 de octubre de 920), padre de tres hijos. Los dos mayores, Elfwine y Ethelwine, murieron en la batalla de Brunanburgh en 937, y el menor, Thurcytel, fue abad de Croyland (Lincolnshire).
Primeras acciones
En 869, luchando al lado de su hermano Etelredo, hizo una tentativa fracasada de aliviar a Mercia de la presión de los daneses. Durante casi dos años Wessex disfrutó de una tregua. Pero a finales de 870 se reanudan las hostilidades, y el año siguiente sería conocido como el «año de las batallas de Alfredo». Nueve batallas se libraron con variada fortuna, aunque el lugar y la fecha de dos de ellas no se han registrado. Una escaramuza acertada en la batalla de Englefield (en Berkshire, 31 de diciembre de 870) fue seguida por una derrota severa en la batalla de Reading (4 de enero de 871), para, cuatro días más tarde, lograr una brillante victoria en la batalla de Ashdown, cerca de Compton Beauchamp, en Shrivenham Hundred.

El 22 de enero de 871, los daneses derrotaron de nuevo a los anglosajones en Basing, y el 23 de abril del mismo año en Marton (Wiltshire), donde muere el rey Etelredo I; las dos batallas no identificadas quizás ocurrieron en el intervalo entre ambas.

Ascenso al trono y nuevas dificultades
Habiendo muerto Etelredo I en batalla, Alfredo sube al fin al trono de Wessex y es coronado en Kingston upon Thames el mismo día.

Mientras estaba ocupado con el entierro y las ceremonias fúnebres de su hermano, los daneses derrotaron al ejército anglosajón en su ausencia en un lugar desconocido, y una vez más en su presencia, en Wilton en el mes de mayo. Después de que fuera firmada la paz, y que por los siguientes cinco años ocuparan los daneses otras partes de Inglaterra, Alfredo se vio obligado a no realizar nuevas acciones que no fueran más allá de la observación y protección de la frontera. Las cosas cambiarán en 876, cuando los daneses, bajo un nuevo líder, Guthrum, regresen al reino y ataquen Wareham. De allí, a comienzos de 877 y bajo el pretexto de negociaciones, incursionaron hacia el oeste y tomaron Exeter. Aquí Alfredo los bloqueó, y gracias a que la flota danesa no llegó tras ser dispersada por una tormenta, los vikingos tuvieron que someterse y retirarse a Mercia. En enero de 878 los daneses volvieron a la lucha e hicieron un ataque repentino en Chippenham, una plaza fuerte que Alfredo había estado manteniendo desde Navidad, «y la mayoría de la gente fue capturada, excepto el rey Alfred, que con una pequeña tropa reunida por sí mismo logró huir... por el bosque y el pantano, y después de Pascua... construyó una fortaleza en Athelney, y desde esa fortaleza comenzó a luchar contra el enemigo» (crónica).

Leyendas del período

Este artículo o sección necesita referencias que aparezcan en una publicación acreditada.
Este aviso fue puesto el 9 de noviembre de 2016.
Una leyenda dice cómo, disfrazado como un fugitivo en los pantanos de Athelney, en Petherton, al norte de Somerset, después de la primera invasión danesa, fue visto por una campesina y ella le dio abrigo, ignorante de su identidad, y le permitió que la ayudara a hacer algunas tortas que había dejado cocinar en el fuego mientras iba a hacer otros quehaceres. Preocupado con los problemas del reino, Alfredo dejó que las tortas se quemaran y fue golpeado por la mujer cuando volvió. Una vez expuesta la identidad del rey, la mujer se disculpó profusamente, pero Alfredo insistió que él era el que debería disculparse. Toda esta historia de que Alfredo, durante su retiro en Athelney, saliera a la vista como un fugitivo y ayudara a una mujer a cocinar unas tortas, es falsa. En realidad él estaba organizando la resistencia. Al mismo tiempo, otras leyendas lo suponen disfrazado como arpista para entrar al campo de Guthrum y descubrir sus planes.

Victoria decisiva
A mediados de mayo de 878, los preparativos estaban listos y Alfredo se marchó de Athelney. En el camino se reunió con las fuerzas militares de Somerset, Wiltshire y Hampshire. Los daneses, por su lado, salieron de Chippenham y los dos ejércitos se enfrentaron en la batalla de Edington, en Wiltshire. El resultado fue una victoria decisiva para Alfredo. Los daneses fueron sometidos. Guthrum, el rey danés, y 29 de sus principales hombres se dejaron bautizar. Como resultado de esto, Inglaterra se dividió en dos tierras, la mitad al sudoeste en manos de los sajones y la mitad nororiental que se conocería ahora como el Danelaw. Al año siguiente (879) no solamente Wessex, sino también Mercia, al oeste de Watling Street, estaba libre del invasor. Éste es el arreglo conocido por los historiadores como la paz de Wedmore (878), aunque no hay documento alguno que pruebe su existencia.

Nuevos problemas
Por aquel tiempo, aunque la mitad nororiental de Inglaterra, incluyendo Londres, estaba en manos de los daneses, la verdad es que la marea había cambiado en su contra. Por aquellos años reinaba la paz en la isla, pero los daneses se mantenían ocupados en Europa. Un ataque a Kent en 884 u 885, aunque rechazado con éxito, animó a los daneses de Anglia del Este a rebelarse. Las medidas tomadas por Alfredo para reprimir esta sublevación culminan con la toma de Londres en 885 o 886, y con el tratado conocido como paz de Alfredo y de Guthrum, por el que los límites del tratado de Wedmore (con cual se confunde a menudo) fueron modificados materialmente para beneficio de Alfredo.

Acción de Alfredo contra los daneses
Una vez más y durante una época hubo calma; pero en la primavera de 892 o 893 la última tormenta se desató. Los daneses, encontrando su posición en Europa cada vez más y más precaria, cruzaron a Inglaterra en dos grupos, con unos 330 hombres en barcos, y se atrincheraron en una vasta extensión en Appledore, Kent, y otro grupo menor hizo lo mismo en Haesten, Milton, también en Kent. El hecho de que los nuevos invasores trajeran a sus esposas y niños con ellos son demostraciones de que ésta no era una simple incursión, sino que era una tentativa significativa, de acuerdo con el pueblo de Northumbria y los daneses de Anglia Oriental, de conquistar Inglaterra. Alfredo, en 893 u 894, tomó una posición desde donde podría observar ambas fuerzas. Mientras él estaba en negociaciones con Haesten, los daneses de Appledore explotaron e invadieron el norte, dirigiéndose hacia el oeste, pero fueron alcanzados por el hijo mayor de Alfredo, Eduardo, y fueron derrotados en Farnham y conducidos a un refugio en la al isla de Thorney, Hertfordshire Colne, donde fueron forzados a someterse. Entonces cae también Essex, y después de sufrir otra derrota en Benfleet, la fuerza danesa de Haesten, en Shoebury se somete a su mando.

Acciones de Alfredo
Alfredo estaba en camino para socorrer a su hijo en Thorney cuando oyó que Northumbria y los daneses de Anglia del Este sitiaban Exeter y una plaza fuerte no nombrada en la orilla norte de Devon. Alfredo inmediatamente se apresura a marchar hacia el oeste y libra del sitio a Exeter; el nombre del otro lugar no se registra. Mientras tanto la fuerza de Haesten se pone en marcha hacia el valle del Támesis, posiblemente con la idea de asistir a sus aliados en el oeste. Pero una fuerza combinada al mando de los tres grandes ealdormen ('condes') de Mercia, de Wiltshire y de Somerset, les hicieron retroceder hacia el noroeste, para finalmente ser alcanzados y bloqueados en Buttington, que algunos identifican con Buttington Tump en la desembocadura del río Wye, y otros localizan en Buttington cerca de Welshpool. Una tentativa de romper las líneas anglosajonas acabó en fracaso con grandes pérdidas en el campo danés; los que escaparon se refugiaron en Shoebury. Allí, luego de reforzarse, realizaron un ataque repentino a través de Inglaterra y ocuparon las ruinas romanas de Chester. El ejército anglosajón no intentó un bloqueo de invierno, pero destruyó todas las fuentes de provisiones en los alrededores. A principios de 894 o 895 la falta de alimento obligó a los daneses a retirarse una vez más a Essex. A fines de ese año y comienzos de 895 o 896 los daneses tomaron sus naves y navegaron por el Támesis y el Lea y se fortificaron a veinte millas de Londres. Un ataque directo contra las líneas danesas falló, pero más adelante en ese año Alfredo obtuvo los medios para obstruir el río con el fin de prevenir la salida de las naves danesas. Los daneses vieron que estaban atrapados y decidieron atacar la parte norte en Bridgenorth, sin éxito. Al año siguiente (896 o 897), se rindieron. Algunos se retiraron a Northumbria, otros a la Anglia Oriental; los que no tenían ninguna conexión en Inglaterra se retiraron al continente. La larga campaña había terminado.

Gobierno posterior

Moneda de Alfredo, rey de Wessex, acuñada en Londres, en 880 (inspirada en un modelo romano).
Al anverso se puede ver el perfil del rey con la leyenda Ælfred Rex.
Una vez terminada la lucha con los daneses, Alfredo se concentró en reforzar la marina real con diversas embarcaciones construidas de acuerdo al gusto del rey.

También decidió reconstruir la organización civil, gravemente dañada durante la invasión danesa, favoreciendo a los desamparados y ganándose el título de «Protector del Pobre» (Asser).

Asser también habla de manera grandiosa acerca de las relaciones de Alfredo con potencias extranjeras, aunque no hay mucha información disponible a este respecto. Él ciertamente sostuvo correspondencia con Elías III, patriarca de Jerusalén, y envió probablemente una misión a la India. Las embajadas a Roma que aseguraban la salvación de las almas anglosajonas al papa eran bastante frecuentes; mientras que el interés de Alfredo en países extranjeros se demuestra por las inserciones que él hizo en su traducción de Orosio.

Alrededor del año 890, Wulfstan de Haithabu emprendió un viaje de Haithabu en Jutlandia a lo largo del mar Báltico a la ciudad prusiana de Truso. Wulfstan dio detalles de su viaje a Alfredo.

Sus relaciones con los príncipes célticos en la mitad meridional de la isla están más claras. Comparativamente temprano en su reinado los príncipes de Gales, debido a la presión en ellas de Gales del norte y de Mercia, se acogieron a la protección de Alfredo. Más adelante Gales del norte siguió su ejemplo, y cooperó con el rey anglosajón en la campaña de 893 o 894. Que Alfredo enviara irlandeses a monasterios europeos se puede aceptar por la autoridad de Asser; la visita de tres peregrinos «escotos» (es decir, irlandeses) a Alfredo en 891 es indudablemente auténtica; la historia de que él mismo en su niñez fue enviado a Irlanda a que se curara por St. Modwenna, aunque mítica, puede demostrar el interés del rey en esa isla.

Fallecimiento
Murió en Winchester, el 26 de octubre de 899, a los 50 años de edad, y fue sepultado en la abadía de Newminster, pero luego lo trasladaron a la abadía de Hyde, en Winchester.

“Therefore a man never attains virtue and excellence through his power; rather he attains power and authority through his virtue… Study wisdom, therefore, and when you have learned it, do not neglect it, for I say to you without hesitation that you can attain authority through wisdom”. Alfred the Great
Alfred the Great (Old English: Ælfrēd[a], Ælfrǣd[b], "elf counsel" or "wise elf"; 849 – 26 October 899) was King of Wessex from 871 to 899.
Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death had become the dominant ruler in England.[1] He is one of only two English monarchs to be given the epithet "the Great", the other being the Scandinavian Cnut the Great. He was also the first King of the West Saxons to style himself "King of the Anglo-Saxons". Details of Alfred's life are described in a work by the 10th-century Welsh scholar and bishop Asser.

Alfred had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged education, proposing that primary education be taught in English, and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure and his people's quality of life. In 2002, Alfred was ranked number 14 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.

In 868, Alfred married Ealhswith, daughter of a Mercian nobleman, Æthelred Mucil, Ealdorman of the Gaini. The Gaini were probably one of the tribal groups of the Mercians. Ealhswith's mother, Eadburh, was a member of the Mercian royal family.[126]

They had five or six children together, including Edward the Elder who succeeded his father as king, Æthelflæd who became Lady (ruler) of the Mercians in her own right, and Ælfthryth who married Baldwin II the Count of Flanders. His mother was Osburga daughter of Oslac of the Isle of Wight, Chief Butler of England. Asser, in his Vita Ælfredi asserts that this shows his lineage from the Jutes of the Isle of Wight. This is unlikely as Bede tells us that they were all slaughtered by the Saxons under Cædwalla. In 2008 the skeleton of Queen Eadgyth, granddaughter of Alfred the Great was found in Magdeburg Cathedral in Germany. It was confirmed in 2010 that these remains belong to her — one of the earliest members of the English royal family.[127]

Osferth was described as a relative in King Alfred's will and he attested charters in a high position until 934. A charter of King Edward's reign described him as the king's brother, "mistakenly" according to Keynes and Lapidge, but in the view of Janet Nelson, he probably was an illegitimate son of King Alfred.[128][129]

royaltythrutheagesOctober 26, 899 – Death of Alfred the Great, King of Wessex; buried at Hyde Abbey in  Winchester, England
Alfred was the youngest son of King Æthelwulf of Wessex. His father died when he was young and three of Alfred's brothers reigned in turn. Taking the throne after the death of his brother Æthelred, Alfred spent several years dealing with Viking invasions. After a decisive victory in the Battle of Edington in 878 Alfred made an agreement with the Vikings, creating what was known as Danelaw in the North of England. Alfred also oversaw the conversion of the Viking leader, Guthrum.
Alfred successfully defended his kingdom against the Viking attempt at conquest, and by the time of his death had become the dominant ruler in England. He was also the first King of the West Saxons to style himself "King of the Anglo-Saxons".
Alfred had a reputation as a learned and merciful man of a gracious and level-headed nature who encouraged education, proposing that primary education be conducted in English rather than Latin, and improved his kingdom's legal system, military structure, and his people's quality of life. He was given the epithet "the Great" during and after the Reformation in the sixteenth century; the only other king of England given this epithet is Cnut the Great.
