The thirteen silver pennies that erased Ceolwulf II from the record
In this episode, we follow how a 2015 coin find in Oxfordshire reopened a debate about Ceolwulf II, Mercian kingship, and Alfred of Wessex. The episode traces the evidence in coins and charters and asks what the coinage tells us about power, memory, and who shaped the written record.
Person: Ceolwulf II
Event: Thirteen silver coins found in Oxfordshire, 2015
Date: 874-879 (Ceolwulf’s reign and disappearance)
Location: Repton (Viking winter camp) and Watlington (coin find)
Topic: Coin iconography and competing historical narratives
- A metal-detectorist unearthed thirteen thumbnail-sized silver pennies in Oxfordshire in 2015.
- Each coin portrays two crowned, robed kings seated side by side, with Alfred of Wessex shown as a peer.
- The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, compiled under Alfred’s authority, calls Ceolwulf “an unwise king’s thane.”
- Surviving Mercian charters show Burgred’s thegns and bishops witnessing Ceolwulf’s legal acts, indicating an operative court.
- Burgred fled to Rome after the Great Heathen Army wintered at Repton, and Ceolwulf appears in records from 874 until his silence around 879.
