Biography
Ine was also known as King of Wessex Ine.1 He, son of Cenred Cenred, was born in Wessex, EnglandG. Ine. King Cædwalla was wounded during the conquest of the Isle of Wight,and perhaps for this reason he abdicated in 688 to travel to Rome forbaptism. He reached Rome in April of 689, and was baptised on theSaturday before Easter, dying ten days later on 20 April 689.
No-one knew who should be the next King. The Saxons were warriortribes and needed a king to rule over them and organise the fightingagainst neighbouring Saxons and the Danes and the Mercians. In theend, the bishops in London held a meeting and prayed to God, and cameto understand that they should find a man called Ina to be King ofWessex. They didn’t know anyone called Ina, so they sent outmessengers to all parts of the kingdom to find someone called Ina. Noone called Ina could be found. Some of the messengers were nearSomerton on their way back to London when they met a farmer going outto call his son in from the fields. They saw this farmer lean over agate and call out, “ Ina, Ina.” A handsome, fair-haired young manappeared leading in the horses. The messengers knew they had foundthe right man to lead the West Saxons and told him he had been chosento be King Ina.”
No-one knows whether this story is true, but it is true that King Inaruled for 37 years, fighting, founding monasteries and making goodlaws, the oldest written law in English. His ‘witan’ or council met atSomerton at least once. King Ina’s laws helped King Alfred the Greatform his code of laws for the whole of England.
Ine was King of Wessex from 688 to 726 and was a Christian king. Hewas unable to retain the territorial gains of his predecessor,Cædwalla, who had brought much of southern England under his controland expanded West Saxon territory substantially. By the end of Ine'sreign the kingdoms of Kent, Sussex and Essex were no longer under WestSaxon domination; however, Ine maintained control of what is nowHampshire, and consolidated and extended Wessex's territory in thewestern peninsula.
Ine is noted for his code of laws, which he issued in about 694. Theselaws were the first issued by an Anglo-Saxon king outside Kent. Theyshed much light on the history of Anglo-Saxon society, and revealIne's Christian convictions. Trade increased significantly duringIne's reign, with the town of Hamwic (now Southampton) becomingprominent. It was probably during Ine's reign that the West Saxonsbegan to mint coins, though none have been found that bear his name.
Ine abdicated in 726 to go to Rome, leaving the kingdom to 'youngermen', in the words of the contemporary chronicler Bede. Ine had noheir. He was succeeded by Æthelheard.
Ine died in 718 in EnglandG.
