 The recent discovery of a coin of King Eanred, dated on stylistic grounds to circa 850, led to a reappraisal of the reigns of Northumbrian rulers in the 9th century.As a result, Rædwulf's reign is now thought to have been c. 858 rather than 844.The numismatic and written evidence agrees that Æthelred was restored to the kingship after Rædwulf's death.
