Title
English: Saxon Coins
Description
English: A silver penny of Aethelwulf of Wessex, one of the Saxon coins decorating the margin of Moll's map of Cambridgeshire, sold separately and as Map 23 in his Set of Fifty New and Correct Maps of England and Wales..., copied from Figure 6 of Tabula II Nummi Saxonici on Page 139 of Obadiah Walker's "Notes on the Saxon Coins" appended to the English translation of William Camden's Britannica.


Notes:
Legend: + AEDELYYVF REX [intending AEÐELVVLF REX, Aetheluulf Rex, King Aethelwulf]
Walker's note states " 6, 7. The sixth and seventh are of King Ethelwolf, son and heir of Egbert, a peaceable and devout, yet very valiant prince. He first gave the tithe of his own estate, and afterwards of the whole kingdom, with the consent of the nobility, to the maintenance of the clergy. He obtained a very great, and glorious victory over the Danes at Aclea (now conceived to be either Ockham, or very near it) in Surrey. He subdued also part of North Wales, upon the entreaty of Burhred, King of Mercia, and out of great bounty and moderation, resigned it to him. After settling the kingdom, he had so much leisure, as to go to Rome; (a journey mentioned with honour by Anastasius Biblioth.,) where he sojourned in very great esteem twelve months. In his return, he married Juditha, the beautiful daughter of Carolus Calvus; after Etheluulf's death, re-married to Baldwin Ferreumlatus, Forester, and afterwards Count of Flanders. At his return, his undutiful, if not also rebellious son Ethelbald, endeavored to exclude him the kingdom. Yet, notwithstanding the nobility freely offered their assistance against Ethelbald; rather than engage in a war with his own people, he, in wonderful moderation, consented to divide the kingdom, and contented himself with the worse half."

London: Sold by H. Moll over-against Devereux-Court in the Strand; Tho. Bowles, Print and Map-Seller near the Chapter-House in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and J. Bowles Print and Map-Seller over-against Stocks-Market. 1724.
