Wigmund may have briefly reigned inMercia about 840, in succession to his father,Wiglaf of Mercia. He may, on the other hand, have predeceased his father and never been anything more than a co-ruler with him. He was himself the father ofWigstan who later declined kingship. He marriedÆlfflæd, daughter ofCeolwulf I, which suggests thatCeolwulf II was a descendant of Wigmund and the last king of the original Mercian dynasty. According to Ford Mommaerts-Browne, he may also have been the father of Eadburh, wife ofÆthelred Mucel, and mother ofEahlswith.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

^Mommaerts-Browne bases his claims on the assertion made by the Welsh monk and bishop,Asser, that Eadburh was a member of the Mercian royal line. Similarly, the historianRichard Abels makes a connection to KingCoenwulf of Mercia. Furthermore, D. P. Kirby goes further in claiming that Asser himself mentions Eadburh's kinship with Ceonwulf. Mommaerts-Browne, nonetheless, observes that Ceonwulf's son,Cynehelm died young, and that his daughter,Cwoenthryth, was a nun, therefore Eadburh's descent from him seems unlikely. Alternatively, he suggests a connection to Coenwulf's brother, Ceolwulf, placing Eadburh as a daughter of Ælfflæd and Wigmund.
