Quotes
“Both King Ælle of Suth Seaxe and Aethelswith of Essex have offered generous terms for us if we send just fifteen knights to help them in their war. They both also offer a promise that they will protect us from the other Saxons if we do this. If we don’t, double tribute is required. AElle in particular has threatened us with pillaging if we don’t agree. I assume he is angry that we sent knights to his rival. “King Cerdic has also, once again, demanded tribute from us.”
- 499
“The tributes are getting ridiculous. King Aelle has openly threatened us, if we do not send 100 cattle, and hundreds in gold and silver he is threatening burning farmland and taking our women. It’s triple the normal demand of tribute. King Aesc is demanding double, and King Cerdic just demands simple tribute. We could pay it all if we squeeze the farmers even more, but many of my son’s men are growing restless.”
