360 Ealhmund, was King of Kent in 784. The only contemporary evidence of him is an abstract of a charter dated in that year, in which Ealhmund granted land to the Abbot of Reculver. [1] By the following year Offa of Mercia seems to have been ruling directly, as he issued a charter [2] without any mention of a local king.

There is a general consensus that he is identical[1] to the Ealhmund found in two pedigrees in the Winchester (Parker) Chronicle, compiled during the reign of Alfred the Great. The genealogical preface to this manuscript, as well as the annal entry (covering years 855-859) describing the death of Æthelwulf, both make king Egbert of Wessex the son of an Ealhmund, who was son of Eafa, grandson of Eoppa, and great-grandson of Ingild, the brother of king Ine of Wessex, and descendant of founder Cerdic,[2] and therefore a member of the House of Wessex (see House of Wessex family tree). A further entry has been added in a later hand to the 784 annal, reporting Ealhmund's reign in Kent. Finally, in the Canterbury Bilingual Epitome, originally compiled after the Norman conquest of England, a later scribe has likewise added to the 784 annal not only Ealhmund's reign in Kent, but his explicit identification with the father Egbert.[3] Based on this reconstruction, in which a Wessex scion became king of Kent, his own Kentish name and that of his son, Egbert, it has been suggested that his mother derived from the royal house of Kent,[4] a connection dismissed by a recent critical review.[1] It has likewise been suggested that Ealhmund might actually have been a Kentish royal scion, and that his pedigree was forged to give son Egbert the descent from Cerdic requisite to reigning in Wessex.[5]

367 Edwin (died 933) was the younger son of King Edward the Elder and Ælfflæd, his second wife. He drowned at sea in circumstances which are unclear.

Edward the Elder died in 924, leaving five sons by three marriages. Of these, Edmund and Eadred were infants and thus excluded from the succession. Edward's careful work of expansion was undone when the Mercians chose Edward's oldest son Æthelstan—probably raised in Mercia at the court of Æthelflæd—to be their king while the West Saxons picked Ælfweard, elder son of Edward's second wife Ælfflæd, who was perhaps Edward's own choice as successor. Ælfweard's "sudden and convenient"[1] death followed six weeks after that of his father, but Æthelstan appears not to have been recognised as king by the West Saxons until a year after his father's death, suggesting that there was considerable resistance to him and perhaps also support for Edwin.[1][2]

The contemporary evidence for Edwin's life is very limited. At some point during the reign of his half-brother Æthelstan, Edwin witnessed a charter, S 1417, at New Minster, Winchester, granting lands to one Alfred, a thegn (minister) of King Æthelstan. Edwin witnesses the charter immediately after his half-brother and is described as ætheling (clito). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle states that Edwin drowned at sea in 933.[3] The Francian Annales Bertiniani compiled by Folcuin provide more detail:
“ For in the year of the Incarnate Word 933, when the same King Edwin, driven by some disturbance in his kingdom, embarked on a ship, wishing to cross to this side of the sea, a storm arose and the ship was wrecked and he was overwhelmed in the midst of the waves. And when his body was washed ashore, Count Adelolf, since he was his kinsman, received it with honour and bore it to the monastery of Saint Bertin [at Saint-Omer] for burial.[4] ”

Later writers such as William of Malmesbury and Simeon of Durham rewrote Edwin's death. Sir Frank Stenton saw their reports as suggesting that "a rebellion against Athelstan may have been organised within the royal house itself".[5] Simeon's version baldly states that "King Æthelstan commanded that his brother Edwin be drowned at sea".[6] William's account is much longer and associates Edwin's death with an earlier plot to blind Æthelstan and replace him with Edwin. In this version, Æthelstan is convinced by jealous courtiers to have Edwin sent to sea in a leaky boat, without oars, without food, and without water. Despairing, Edwin throws himself into the sea and drowns.[7]

The Annales Bertiniani say that the monks of Saint Bertin were granted a monastery at Bath by "King Æthelstan" in 944—in fact King Edmund, Æthelstan having died in 939—in gratitude for their care of Edwin's remains

370 Elizabeth Scott (my great-great grandmother) was born at Felton, Northumberland in 1786
She married Martin Hogg in 1809 and had five children - Robert, Jane, Barbara, Ann and
Elizabeth (my great-grandmother). They lived at Cowslip Hill, Felton.

Elizabeth Scott was a victim of the Resurrectionists, or Body Snatchers, as they are more
commonly called - men who stole bodies from graves for profit.

In the 19th century this was a common practice. Bodies were needed by hospitals for medical
students. Demand was high, and there were no longer enough bodies from "legal sources" i.e.
people dying as paupers or in jails or workhouses. At the beginning of the 19th century,
the notorious Burke and Hare progressed from simply robbing graves to murdering their
victims. They were caught and hung.

Edinburgh Infirmary was a leading teaching hospital and needed large numbers of bodies for its
students. In Scotland security measures such as padlocking the cemeteries were introduced
to counter body snatching. The Body Snatchers therefore turned their attention across the
border to Northumberland.

The Newcastle Chronicle was eagerly scanned for death notices. The preferred victims were
women (as they were usually smaller and lighter) and the preferred churchyards were near a
road for ease of travel, and with low security. The nearest large town to Felton was Morpeth
which had installed a watch-tower which was manned all night. However Felton was ideal.

Felton Parish Church had already suffered one casualty. In 1831 the corpse of Margaret Elliot,
aged 93, was stolen. Two men, found with the body on their cart, were caught and convicted.

Elizabeth Hogg, aged 60, from Cowslip Hill, the home of the Gamekeeper to Felton Park, died
on December, 1846 and was buried just after Christmas in the churchyard of St Michael and All
Angels, Felton.

A young boy noticed the soil of a disturbed grave only partially filled in and raised the alert.

The culprits had taken off over a field with a stile to reach the road. Human hair was found
attached to the stile - the field and stile are still referred to as Betty Hogg's field and stile.

Two Irishmen, carrying a large parcel who had boarded the coach were arrested at Berwick on
Tweed.

The body was re-interred in the grave from which it was taken.

The Kennedy brothers were found guilty at Northumberland Michaelmas Sessions at Alnwick
and "fined a shilling each to the King and imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of
Correction at Morpeth for twelve months and to be further imprisoned until the fines were paid".

The cost of the trial to the Parish of Felton was 30 pounds.

386 Ethelred I King Of Wessex King Ethelred of Wessex (Old English: Æþelræd) (c. 840 - April 23, 871) was the fourth son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex, and an older brother of Alfred the Great. He is sometimes referred to as King Ethelred I of England, but it is open to question whether he should be regarded as a king of England, since in his time the English were still divided into a number of kingdoms, not all of which recognised him as overlord (e.g. Mercia).

He succeeded his brother, Ethelbert, as King of Wessex and Kent in 865 [1] [2]. He married Wulfrida and had two sons, Aethelwold being the elder and Aethelhelm being the younger. Ethelred was not able to control the increasing Danish raids which devastated England. On January 4, 871 at the Battle of Reading, Ethelred suffered a crushing defeat, although he did hand the Danes a Pyrrhic victory. Soon after, however, Ethelred was able to re-form his army in time to win a stunning victory at the Battle of Ashdown. However, he suffered another defeat on January 22 at the Battle of Basing and was killed at the Battle of Merton on April 23, 871.

Ethelred is buried at Wimborne in Dorset. Following his death, he was popularly regarded as a saint, but never canonised. He was succeeded by his brother, King Alfred the Great. (See House of Wessex family tree.)

Ethelred is not to be confused with the later king Ethelred the Unready.
