His biggest fault was he never married or had children.

Oddly, he was apparently never called “bretwalda” - “Briton-ruler,” sovereign over all of the Saxon heptarchy.

It’s odd, since he ruled a long time, but he probably had money problems, or couldn’t marry dynastically without tickin’ off every other dynast.
