Æthelstan of East Anglia

Æthelstan (/ˈæθəlstæn/) was king of East Anglia in the 9th century, the first East Anglian king after a century of Mercian domination. As with the other kings of East Anglia, there is very little textual information available. Æthelstan did, however, leave an extensive coinage of both portrait and non-portrait type. His reign cannot be precisely dated, but was likely from c. 827 to c. 840.
