Æthelred I of East Anglia
- Æthelred I of East Anglia
Æthelred (I) is reputed to have been an eighth-century King of East Anglia who ruled for some time between 760 and 790, and was the father of Æthelberht II of East Anglia. If he existed at all he held East Anglia during the overlordship of Offa of Mercia. There is no coinage known for him, and the only historical sources are post-conquest, including the Lives of St Æthelberht and the regnal lists in William of Malmesbury. In the legendary narratives of St Æthelberht, Æthelred and his queen (?Leofruna) dwell at Beodricesworth.
