Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists who Came to America Before 1700 by Frederick Lewis Weis, 1992, contains a section concerning Egbert. We learn that he was born in 775, the son of Eahlmund, and died after November 19, 838. (Most researchers report that he died in 838 or 839.) He was reportedly the first king of all of England. This shows Lady Redburga as Raedburh.
Next is a more complete bio of Egbert from a very early source - The History of England, from the Earliest Accounts, to the Accession of His Present Majesty King George III by Isaac Kimber, 1775. In addition to details of his reign, we learn that he was buried at Winchester.
The story of Egbert's reign is confirmed in a more recent source - The Book of Firsts: 150 World-Changing People and Events by Peter D'Epiro, 2010.
From Alfred the Great: the Truth Teller, Maker of England, 848-899, by Beatrice Adelaide Lees, 1915.
"The ancient West-Saxon royal genealogy traces Egbert's paternal ancestry to Ingild, brother of Ine, through he is linked with the kin of Cerdic, the royal stock of Wessex. Egbert is said to have been the son of Ealhmund, the son of Eafa or Eaba, the son of Eoppa, the son of Ingild. If Ingild, Eafa and Eoppa are only a shade less mythical than the demigods and heroes from whom the house of Cerdic derived its descent, there is some evidence for the existence of Ealhmund, Egbert's reputed father.".
