description: "Cynewulf was the King of Wessex from 757 until 786. Mercia, which was then the dominant power, went through a period of disorder during most of his reign, so he was able to keep his territory intact until he was defeated by King Offa of Mercia in 779. He was killed by the brother of his deposed predecessor in 786."
