Lerion (died 864) was an ealdorman from the House of Wuffingas who sought to claim the throne of Mercia from King Burgred during the 9th century.[1] He was a member of the Order of the Ancients and had three daughters: Cordelia, Regan and Goneril, all of whom sought revenge for his death.[2]
After seeking an alliance with Ælla of Northumbria and thegn Leofwine, he was betrayed by the latter, who reported his actions to King Edmund, getting a third of Lerion's estate as a reward. As a result, Lerion was arrested and executed for treason. Leofwine would subsequently arrive at his estate to detain his daughters and seize the land.[2]
