[PAR] [TLE] Ælfflæd of Mercia (II) [SEP] Ælfflæd (fl.  840), was the daughter of Ceolwulf I of Mercia, and later married Wigmund of Mercia.  Their son, Wigstan of Mercia, inherited the throne in 840 but, declining the kingship, appointed his mother as regent.  She was deposed from this position by Beorhtwulf of Mercia.  Ælfflæd should not be confused with her earlier Mercian namesake, Ælfflæd, the daughter of Offa of Mercia. [PAR] [TLE] Beorhtwulf of Mercia [SEP] Beorhtwulf (] , meaning "bright wolf"; also spelled "Berhtwulf"; died 852) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 839 or 840 to 852.  His ancestry is unknown, though he may have been connected to Beornwulf, who ruled Mercia in the 820s.  Almost no coins were issued by Beorhtwulf's predecessor, Wiglaf, but a Mercian coinage was restarted by Beorhtwulf early in his reign, initially with strong similarities to the coins of Æthelwulf of Wessex, and later with independent designs.  The Vikings attacked within a year or two of Beorhtwulf's accession: the province of Lindsey was raided in 841, and London, a key centre of Mercian commerce, was attacked the following year.  Another Viking assault on London in 851 "put Beorhtwulf to flight", according to the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle"; the Vikings were subsequently defeated by Æthelwulf.  This raid may have had a significant economic impact on Mercia, as London coinage is much reduced after 851.
