    Note: Ine, also rendered Ini or Ina, (Latin: Inus; c. AD 670 – after 726) was King of Wessex from 689[1] to 726. At Ine's accession, his kingdom dominated much of southern England. However, he was unable to retain the territorial gains of his predecessor, Cædwalla, who had expanded West Saxon territory substantially. By the end of Ine's reign, the kingdoms of Kent, Sussex, and Essex were no longer under West Saxon sway; however, Ine maintained control of what is now Hampshire, and consolidated and extended Wessex's territory in the western peninsula. Ine is noted for his code of laws (leges Inae or "laws of Ine"), which he issued in about 694. These laws were the first issued by an Anglo-Saxon king outside Kent. They shed much light on the history of Anglo-Saxon society, and reveal Ine's Christian convictions. Trade increased significantly during Ine's reign, with the town of Hamwic (now Southampton) becoming prominent. It was probably during Ine's reign that the West Saxons began to mint coins, though none have been found that bear his name. Ine abdicated in 726 to go to Rome, leaving, in the words of the contemporary chronicler Bede, the kingdom to "younger men". He was succeeded by Æthelheard. Early sources agree that Ine was the son of Cenred, and that Cenred was the son of Ceolwald; further back there is less agreement.[2] Ine was born around 670[3] and his siblings included a brother, Ingild, and two sisters, Cuthburh and Cwenburg. Ingild is given by the Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies as ancestor of king Egbert of Wessex and the subsequent kings of England.[4] Cuthburh was married to King Aldfrith of Northumbria,[5] and Ine himself was married to Æthelburg.[2] Bede tells that Ine was "of the blood royal", by which he means the royal line of the Gewisse, the early West Saxon tribal name.[6] The genealogy of Ine and of the kings of Wessex is known from two sources: the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List. The Chronicle was created in the late 9th century, probably at the court of Alfred the Great, and some of its annals incorporated short genealogies of kings of Wessex. These are often at variance with the more extensive information in the Regnal List.[7] The inconsistencies appear to result from the efforts of later chroniclers to demonstrate that each king on the list was descended from Cerdic, the founder, according to the Chronicle, of the West Saxon line in England.[8] Ine's predecessor on the throne of Wessex was Cædwalla, but there is some uncertainty about the transition from Cædwalla to Ine. Cædwalla abdicated in 688 and departed for Rome to be baptized. According to the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List, Ine reigned for 37 years, abdicating in 726. These dates imply that he did not gain the throne until 689, which could indicate an unsettled period between Cædwalla's abdication and Ine's accession. Ine may have ruled alongside his father, Cenred, for a period: there is weak evidence for joint kingships, and stronger evidence of subkings reigning under a dominant ruler in Wessex, not long before this time.[9] Ine acknowledges his father's help in his code of laws,[10] and there is also a surviving land-grant that indicates Cenred was still reigning in Wessex after Ine's accession. The extent of West Saxon territory at the start of Ine's reign is fairly well known. The upper Thames valley on both sides of the river had long been the territory of the Gewisse, though Cædwalla had lost territory north of the river to the kingdom of Mercia before Ine's accession. To the west, Ceawlin of Wessex is known to have reached the Bristol Channel one hundred years before.[13] The West Saxons had since expanded further down the southwestern peninsula, pushing back the boundary with the British kingdom of Dumnonia, which was probably roughly equivalent to modern Devon and Cornwall.[14] On the West Saxons' eastern border was the kingdom of the East Saxons, which included London and what is now Surrey. To the southeast were the South Saxons, on the coast east of the Isle of Wight. Beyond Sussex lay the kingdom of Kent.[15] Ine's predecessor, Cædwalla, had made himself overlord of most of these southern kingdoms,[16] though he had not been able to prevent Mercian inroads along the upper Thames.[14] Ine retained control of the Isle of Wight, and made further advances in Dumnonia, but the territorial gains Cædwalla had made in Sussex, Surrey and Kent were all lost by the end of Ine's reign.[14] Kent, Essex, Sussex, and Surrey Ine made peace with Kent in 694, when its king Wihtred gave Ine a substantial sum in compensation for the death of Cædwalla's brother Mul, who had been killed during a Kentish rebellion in 687. The value of the amount offered to Ine by Wihtred is uncertain; most manuscripts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle record "thirty thousand", and some specify thirty thousand pounds. If the pounds are equal to sceattas, then this amount is the equal of a king's weregild—that is, the legal valuation of a man's life, according to his rank.[17][18] Ine kept the South Saxons, who had been conquered by Cædwalla in 686, in subjugation for a period.[19] King Nothhelm of Sussex is referred to in a charter of 692 as a kinsman of Ine (perhaps by marriage).[11][20] Sussex was still under West Saxon domination in 710, when Nothhelm is recorded as having campaigned with Ine in the west against Dumnonia.[14] Control of Surrey, which may never have been an independent kingdom, passed between Kent, Mercia, Essex, and Wessex in the years before Ine's reign. Essex also included London, and the diocese of London included Surrey; this appears to have been a source of friction between Ine and the East Saxon and Mercian kings, until the province was transferred to the diocese of Winchester in 705.[21] Evidence for Ine's early control of Surrey comes from the introduction to his laws, in which he refers to Eorcenwald, bishop of London, as "my bishop".[14][22] Ine's subsequent relations with the East Saxons are illuminated by a letter written in 704 or 705 by Bishop Wealdhere of London to Brihtwold, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The letter refers to "disputes and discords" that had arisen "between the king of the West Saxons and the rulers of our country". The rulers that Wealdhere refers to are Sigeheard and Swæfred of the East Saxons, and the cause of the discord was the East Saxons' sheltering of exiles from the West Saxons. Ine had agreed to peace on the condition that the exiles were expelled. A council at Brentford was planned to resolve the disputes.[20][23] By this point Surrey had clearly passed out of West Saxon control.[20] Bede records that Ine held Sussex in subjection for "several years",[24] but in 722 an exile named Ealdbert fled to Surrey and Sussex, and Ine invaded Sussex as a result. Three years later Ine invaded again, this time killing Ealdberht. Sussex had evidently broken away from West Saxon domination some time before this.[2][14] It has been suggested that Ealdberht was a son of Ine, or a son of Ine's brother Ingild. In 721, the Chronicle records that Ine slew one Cynewulf, of whom nothing else is known, though his name suggests a connection to the Wessex royal line. A quarrel apparently arose in the royal family soon afterwards: in 722, according to the Chronicle, Ine's queen Æthelburg destroyed Taunton, which her husband had built earlier in his reign.[2] In 726, Ine abdicated, with no obvious heir and, according to Bede, left his kingdom to "younger men" in order to travel, with his wife Æthelburg, to Rome where they both died; his predecessor, Cædwalla, had also abdicated to go to Rome and was baptized there by the pope. A pilgrimage to Rome was thought to aid one's chance of a welcome in heaven, and according to Bede, many people went to Rome at this time for this reason: "... both noble and simple, layfolk and clergy, men and women alike."[6] Either Ine or Offa of Mercia is traditionally supposed to have founded the Schola Saxonum there, in what is today the Roman rione, or district, of Borgo. The Schola Saxonum took its name from the militias of Saxons who served in Rome, but it eventually developed into a hostelry for English visitors to the city.[55] According to Roger of Wendover, Ine founded the Schola Saxonum in 727.[56] Ine's successor was King Æthelheard; it is not known whether Æthelheard was related to Ine, though some later sources state that Æthelheard was Ine's brother-in-law.[57] Æthelheard's succession to the throne was disputed by an ætheling, Oswald, and it may be that Mercian support for Æthelheard in the unsettled aftermath of Ine's abdication both helped establish Æthelheard as king and also brought him into the sphere of influence of Æthelbald, the king of Mercia.[
    Page: Ingild mentioned several times in the biography of his brother Ine. Identifies Ingild, Ine, and two sisters, Cuthburh and Cwenburg all as the children of Cenred, who was the son of Ceolwald. Also identifies a possible son of Ingild who was killed by Ine in 722 "It has been suggested that Ealdberht was a son of Ine, or a son of Ine's brother Ingild." And finally shows that Ingild and Ine ARE NOT THE SAME PERSON, and that Ingild was never identified as a king, only the brother of one.

  4. Title: Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_royal_genealogies;
    Note: A number of royal genealogies of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, collectively referred to as the Anglo-Saxon royal genealogies, have been preserved in a manuscript tradition based in the 8th to 10th centuries. The genealogies trace the succession of the early Anglo-Saxon kings, back to the semi-legendary kings of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, notably named as Hengest and Horsa in Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, and further to legendary kings and heroes of the pre-migration period, usually including an eponymous ancestor of the respective lineage and converging on Woden. In their fully elaborated forms as preserved in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles and the Textus Roffensis, they continue the pedigrees back to the biblical patriarchs Noah and Adam. They also served as the basis for pedigrees that would be developed in 13th century Iceland for the Scandinavian royalty. Wessex and Bernicia Further information: List of monarchs of Wessex While excluded from the original pedigree sources, two later copies of the Anglian collection from the 10th century (called CCCC and Tiberius, or simply C and T) include an addition: a pedigree for King Ine of Wessex that traces his ancestry from Cerdic, the semi-legendary founder of the Wessex state, and hence from Woden.[7] This addition probably reflects the growing influence of Wessex under Ecgbert, whose family claimed descent from a brother of Ine.[8] Pedigrees are also preserved in several regnal lists dating from the reign of Æthelwulf and later, but seemingly based on a late-8th or early 9th century source or sources.[9] Finally, later interpolations (which were added by 892) to both Asser's Vita Ælfredi regis Angul Saxonum and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle preserve Wessex pedigrees extended beyond Cerdic and Woden to Adam.[10] Scholars have long noted discrepancies in the Wessex pedigree tradition. The pedigree as it appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is at odds with the earlier Anglian collection in that it contains four additional generations and consists of doublets which when expressed with patronymics would have resulted in the uniform triple alliteration that is common in Anglo-Saxon poetry, but that would have been difficult for a family to maintain over a number of generations and is unlike known Anglo-Saxon naming practices.[27][28] Anglo Saxon Chronicle Anglian Collection C&T Woden Woden Bældæg Bældæg Brond Brand Friðgar Freawine Wig Giwis Giwis Esla Elesa Aluca Cerdic Cerdic Further, when comparing the Chronicle's pedigrees of Cerdic and of Ida of Bernicia several anomalies are evident. While the two peoples had no tradition of common origin, their pedigrees share the generations immediately after Woden, Bældæg whom Snorri equated with the God Baldr, and Brand. One might expect Cerdic to be given descent from a different son of Woden, if not from a different god entirely such as the Saxon patron, Seaxnēat, who once headed the pedigree of the Essex kings before his relegation as another son of Woden. Likewise, while the Chronicle places Ida's reign after Cerdic's death, the pedigrees do not reflect this difference in age.[29][30] Wessex Bernicia Woden Bældæg Brond/Brand Friðgar Benoc Freawine Aloc Wig Angenwit Giwis Ingui Esla Esa Elesa Eoppa Cerdic Ida The name Cerdic, moreover, may actually be an Anglicized form of the Brythonic name Ceredic and several of his successors also have names of possible Brythonic origin, indicating that the Wessex founders may not have been Germanic at all.[31] All of these suggest that the pedigree may not be authentic.

    Note: Ingild of Wessex was born on an unknown date to Cenred of Wessex and died 718 Wessex of unspecified causes. Family of Ingild Ingild of Wessex was brother to the Ine of Wessex, who ruled as King of Wessex. (See House of Wessex family tree). Ine outlived Ingild, who died in 718. Ine (or Ina) and several siblings are mentioned extensively in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles - Pt 1 A.D. 400-750 Early sources agree that Ine was the son of Cenred, and that Cenred was the son of Ceolwald; further back there is less agreement. Ine's siblings included a brother, Ingild, and two sisters, Cuthburh and Cwenburg. Cuthburh was married to King Aldfrith of Northumbria, and Ine himself was married to Æthelburg. Bede tells that Ine was "of the blood royal", by which he means the royal line of the Gewisse, the early West Saxon tribal name. In 726, Ine abdicated, with no obvious heir and, according to Bede, left his kingdom to "younger men" in order to travel (See OMACL - year 728) to Rome, where he died; his predecessor, Cædwalla, had also abdicated to go to Rome and was baptized there by the pope. A pilgrimage to Rome was thought to aid one's chance of a welcome in heaven, and according to Bede, many people went to Rome at this time for this reason: "... both noble and simple, layfolk and clergy, men and women alike." Either Ine or Offa of Mercia is traditionally supposed to have founded the Schola Saxonum there, in what is today the Roman rione, or district, of Borgo. House of Wessex He was of the royal English dynasty called House of Wessex, a family originating in the southwest corner of England and gradually increased in power and prestiege. The House became rulers of all the country with the reign of Alfred the Great in 871 and lasting until Edmund Ironside in 1016. This period of the English monarchy is known as the Saxon period. Royal Lineage Family The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles compiled at the time of Alfred the Great generally agree as to the royal lineage of the early English kings through the House of Wessex. Ingild of Wessex was the brother of king Ine of Wessex, and a descendant of founder Cerdic of Wessex. They show that lineage as follows: Cenred of Wessex, King of Wessex and son of Ceolwald of Wessex, a desendant of Cerdic of Wessex, the first Wessex King. Ingild of Wessex, royal prince and son of Cenred of Wessex Eoppa of Wessex, son of Ingild of Wessex. Eafa of Wessex, son of Eoppa. Ealhmund of Kent, son of Eafa, ruled briefly as King of Kent in the year 784. Egbert, King of Wessex (c769-839) son of Ealhmund of Kent, he was able to wrest control of both Wessex and Kent from the King of Mercia (c 790-839) and back to the royal family of Wessex. Æthelwulf, King of Wessex (c795-858), helped his father conquer the Kingdom of Kent in 825 and inherited his fathers throne in 839. While king he repelled several Viking invasions and undertook a pilgrimage to Rome in 855. Several of his sons succeeded to his thone in turn until the youngest, thru which the royal line continued. Alfred the Great, King of Anglo-Saxons (ruled 871-899), son of King Æthelwulf of Wessex and Osburga. Anglo Saxon Chronicles Succession of Wessex: Then succeeded Brihtric, whose kin goeth to Cerdic, and reigned sixteen years. Then succeeded Egbert to the kingdom, and held it seven and thirty winters, and seven months. Then succeeded Ethelwulf, his son, and reigned eighteen years and a half. Ethelwulf was the son of Egbert, Egbert of Ealmund, Ealmund of Eafa, Eafa of Eoppa, Eoppa of Ingild, Ingild of Cenred (Ina of Cenred, Cuthburga of Cenred, and Cwenburga of Cenred), Cenred of Ceolwald, Ceolwald of Cuthwulf, Cuthwulf of Cuthwine, Cuthwine of Celm, Celm of Cynric, Cynric of Creoda, Creoda of Cerdic.

    Publication: Name: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ine;
    Note: Ine, also spelled Ini, (died 726 or after), Anglo-Saxon king of the West Saxons, or Wessex, from 688 to 726. One of the most powerful West Saxon rulers before Alfred the Great, Ine was the first West Saxon king to issue a code of laws, which are an important source for the structure of early English society. Ine succeeded to the throne upon the retirement of King Caedwalla, and in 694 he forced the men of Kent to pay compensation for slaying Caedwalla’s brother Mul. In 710 Nunna, the king of the South Saxons, or Sussex, lent Ine aid against the Cornish Britons, but in 722 and 725 Ine took up arms against the South Saxons, who were harbouring a rival claimant to his throne. He abdicated and retired to Rome in 726. Ine’s code, preserved as an appendix to Alfred’s laws, deals mainly with judicial procedures, listing the punishments to be inflicted for various offenses. His laws show that people of British origin had been incorporated into the West Saxon social system. The important trading port of Hamwic was most likely founded in his reign.

    Note: E. FAMILY of INE KING of WESSEX 688-728 1. CENRED . The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names Cenred as son of Ceolwald[1367]. Under-King in Wessex, possibly in Dorset. He was one of the chief advisers in putting together his son's code of law in 694. Cenred had four children: a) INE (-Rome [728]). Ine was allegedly descended from Cuthwine, supposedly son of Ceawlin King of Wessex: manuscript A of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ine succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex" in 688 and ruled thirty-seven years, adding that he was "the son of Cenred, son of Ceolwald…brother of Cynegils…sons of Cuthwine, son of Ceawlin, son of Cynric, son of Cerdic"[1368]. However, a later source states that Ine was descended from Cuthbald, supposedly brother of King Cynegils: according to William of Malmesbury, King Ine was the great nephew of King Cynegils, descended from the king's brother Cuthbald[1369]. He succeeded King Cædwalla in 688 as INE King of Wessex. "Ini rex Westsaxonum" granted land in Berkshire to abbot Hean by charter dated 687 which was subscribed by "Ethelridi regis Merciorum"[1370]. According to Stenton, "Ine was a statesman with ideas beyond the grasp of any of his predecessors"[1371]. The conquest of Devon was probably completed during his reign, starting with the establishment of a monastery at Exeter in 690 or shortly before. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 694 "the Kentishmen came to terms with Ine" and gave him "thirty thousands" as compensation for the death of Mul[1372]. Ine promulgated a new code of laws in 694, more detailed than any of its predecessors, including the establishment of the annual payment of church-scot by all free men, which was paid in kind at Martinmas at a rate in proportion to land held and generally consisted of a number of measures of grain[1373]. The bishopric of Shelborne was established in 705, with Aldhelm (abbot of Malmesbury) as its first bishop, its diocese being the more recently conquered lands of Dorset, Somerset and Devon[1374]. The first West Saxon synods met under his presidency. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 715 "Ine and Ceolred" [King of Mercia" fought "at Adam’s grave"[1375]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 721 "Ine killed Cynewulf"[1376]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Ine fought "against the South Saxons" in 722, and in 725 when he killed "Ealdberht" there[1377]. Bede records that "Ini", successor of Cædwalla, reigned for 38 years before abdicating and leaving for Rome[1378]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ine went to Rome" in 728[1379]. m ÆTHELBURG, sister of ÆTHELHEARD, later King of Wessex, maybe a descendant of Cynebald (-Rome [728]). The primary source which records that she was sister of Æthelheard has not yet been identified. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "queen Æthelburh destroyed Taunton, which Ine had built" in 722[1380]. William of Malmesbury records that she encouraged her husband to undertake his pilgrimage to Rome in 726 and accompanied him[1381]. b) INGELD (-718). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "Ingeld brother of Ine" died in 718[1382]. According to the generally accepted ancestry of the 9th century kings of Wessex, Ingeld was the direct ancestor of Ealhmund King of Kent, who was the father of Ecgberht King of Wessex. This supposed ancestry is set out in a passage of the Chronicle dated 855, which lists the ancestors of Æthelwulf King of Wessex, and states that Ealhmund was "son of Eafa, son of Eoppa, son of Ingeld…brother of Ine king of Wessex", adds their alleged direct line of ancestors back to Cerdic, first King of Wessex, Cerdic’s mythical ancestry back to Woden, and even Woden’s alleged descent from Noah and "Adam the first man"[1383]. This is clearly one of the dubious lines of descent of the kings of Wessex which are discussed in the introduction to the Chapter. c) CWENBURH. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Cwenburh and Cuthburh" as sisters of Ingeld and Ine[1384]. She and her sister founded Wimborne Abbey, where Cwenburh became Abbess. d) CUTHBURH. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Cwenburh and Cuthburh" as sisters of Ingeld and Ine, adding that Cuthburh married Aldfrith king of Northumbria "but they parted during their lifetime" and founded the monastic community at Wimborne[1385]. After her repudiation, she became a nun at Barking. She was canonised, her feast day is 3 Sep[1386]. m (separated before [696/97][1387]) as his first wife, ALDFRITH King of Northumbria, illegitimate son of OSWIU King of Northumbria & his mistress --- ([650]-Driffield 14 Dec 704).

The above-mentioned king was the son of King Ecgbyrht, and his grandfather was Ealhmund, his great-grandfather Eafa, his great-great-grandfather Eoppa, his great-great-great-grandfather Ingild, brother of Ine, king of the West Saxons, who died in Rome, and these kings derived their origin from Cenred. Cenred was the son of Ceolwald. His grandfather was Cuthwine, his great-grandfather Ceawlin, his great-great-grand- father Cynric, his great-great-great-grandfather Cerdic, who was the first possessor of the western area of Britain, after he had overcome the armies of the Britons. And his father was Elesa, his grandfather Esla, his great-grandfather Gewis, his great-great-grandfather Wig, his great-great-great-grandfather Freawine, his sixth father Frithogar, his seventh Brond, his eighth Baldr, his ninth Woden, his tenth Frithowald, his eleventh Frealaf, his twelfth Frithowulf, his thirteenth Fin, his fourteenth Godwulf, his fifteenth Geat, his sixteenth Tetwa, his seventeenth Beow, his eighteenth Scyld, his nineteenth Sceaf. And this Sceaf arrived with one light ship in the island of the ocean which is called Skaney, with arms all round him. He was a very young boy, and unknown to the people of that land, but he was received by them, and they guarded him with diligent attention as one who belonged to them, and elected him king. From his family King Æthelwulf derived his descent. And the number of fifty-five years had passed since Ecgbyrht began to reign."
