The Kingdom of England was divided between Aelfweard and his half-brother, [[Athelstan]], who became King of Mercia. Aelfweard lived for only 16 days after his father and was probably not even crowned. Athelstan became King of Wessex in September 924, so the English kingdom was re-united again. {{English monarchs}} {{bio-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Aelfweard of Wessex}} [[Category:904 births]] [[Category:924 deaths]] [[Category:House of Wessex]]
