The term “'''bretwalda'''” (also “brytenwalda” in various versions) first appeared in the [[Anglo-Saxon Chronicle]]’s report on AD 829, referring to king [[Egbert]] as “ruler of Britain”. “Brytenwalda” (Britain-wide) was later used in a [[charter]] issued by [[Athelstan]] in 934 where the English version had “brytenwalda” while the Latin copy of the text had “king and ruler of the whole island of Britain”.
