recognized as sovereign of all England . He was the son of a Kentish noble but claimed descent from Cerdic (reigned 519-34), founder of Wessex, the kingdom of the West Saxons in southern England. During the late 8th century, when King Offa of Mercia (reigned 757-96) ruled most of England, Egbert lived in exile at the court of Charlemagne. Egbert regained his kingdom in 802. He conquered the neighboring kingdoms of Kent, Cornwall, and Mercia, and by 830 he was also acknowledged as sovereign of East Anglia, Sussex, Surrey, and Northumbria and was given the title of Bretwalda (Anglo-Saxon, "ruler of the British"). During following years Egbert led expeditions against the Welsh and the Vikings. The year before his death he defeated a combined force of Danes and Cornish at Hingston Down in Cornwall. He was succeeded by his son Aethelwulf, the father of Alfred. </p><br>  <h2 class="c-article__title--secondary">Timeline for King Egbert (Ecgberht)</h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Year</th> <th>Event</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>800</td><td>Around this time the <i>Book of Kells</i> is written in Ireland</td></tr><tr><td>802</td><td>Death of King Beorthric of Wessex </td></tr><tr><td>802</td><td>Egbert returns from exile in Charlemagne and becomes King of Wessex</td></tr><tr><td>825</td><td>King Egbert of Wessex wins a decisive victory over King Beornwulf of Mercia at Ellendun.
