Years: 675 - 675
Wulfhere, with an effective hegemony over all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms except for Northumbria, had by the early 670s become the most powerful king in southern Britain.
Wulfhere according to Stephen of Ripon, had in 674 "stirred up all the southern nations against [Northumbria]", but he was defeated by Oswiu's son Ecgfrith who had forced him to surrender Lindsey, and to pay tribute.
Wulfhere survived the defeat but dies in 675, possibly of disease; his brother Æthelred succeeds him as king of Mercia.
