Aethelwulf helped the Merciansagainst the Welsh and then married the Mercian king's daughter. He was areligous man and in 855 undertook a pilgrimage to Rome, leaving thecountry in charge of Ethelbald his eldest son. On his return, to avoidcivil war, he allowed Ethelbald to retain Wessex while he ruled Kent andother parts of SE England.
