Æthelstan of East Anglia

"Here lies Aethelstan, pious son and rightful king of East Anglia. Here lies Aethelstan, warrior of God and slayer of pagans. Here lies Aethelstan, another corpse fed to the worms by the Norse. Here lies a man fool enough to wear East Anglia's crown."

―A note on Aethelstan's coffin.

Æthelstan (died c. 845) was King of East Anglia from around 820 until his death.
