 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle : Year 866   865    867
Details from the Chronicle

This year Ethered, (35) brother of Ethelbert, took to the West-Saxon government; and the same year came a large heathen army into England, and fixed their winter-quarters in East- Anglia, where they were soon horsed; and the inhabitants made peace with them.

(35) Aetheredus, -- Asser, Ethelwerd, etc. We have therefore adopted this orthography.
