951 King of Wessex 839-856.
Æthelwulf had helped his father in 825 by concurring the Kingdom of Kent. Later Æthelwulf was installed as King of Kent as a sub-king under his father. Æthelwulf fought many battles against the Danes and other invaders from Europe. For a time he received submission from Wales. Æthelwulf had many sons who were very ambitious.
He was very religious. In 853 he repudiated his marriage to Osburga and sent his four year old son Alfred to Rome for a year. Æthelwulf later followed him and paid homage to the leaders of the church. On the way home, Æthelwulf married Judith, the 12 year old great granddaughter of Charlemagne.
When Æthelwulf returned from Rome his oldest surviving son refused to return control. Æthelwulf collected enough support to defeat him but granted his son control of the western part of the Wessex.
Prior to Judith, the wives of Wessex kings were referred to as "wife of the king" and were not allowed to sit on the throne with the King. But, since Judith was from such an important family, from then on, the wives of the kings were called Queen. 		-, Æthelwulf King of Wessex (I2860)

958 Like his grandfather, Uhtred was both High-Reeve of Bamburgh and Ealdorman of York (Northumbria), the later position he held from 1006 until he was murdered in 1016.
In 1006 Malcolm II of Scotland invaded Northumbria and Æthelred was busy defending southern England from the Danes. Uhtred's father was too old and the present did nothing. Uhtred put together an army and defeated the Scottish invaders. Uhtred hired local women to clean the severed heads of the Scottish dead and paid them a cow for each head.
Æthelred rewarded Uhtred with the ealdormanry of Bamburgh even though his father, the ealdorman of Bamburgh, was still alive. Then Æthelred had Ealdorman Ælfhelm of York killed so Uhtred could take his place. With his new prominence, he dismissed his first wife and married the daughter of a wealthy York landowner.
When Æthelred was forced into exile, Uhtred pledged his allegiance to the Danish King. When Æthelred came back, Uhtred married pledged his allegiance to him and married his daughter, Ælfgifu.
After Æthelred died and England was invaded again by the Danes, Uhtred was summoned to meet with the new Danish King. On the way he was murdered by Thurbrand the Hold under the king's guidance. Eventually Uhtred's son Ealdred avenged his father's death by killing Thurbrand. Ealdred was then killed by Thurbrand's son Carl. Years later, Ealdred's grandson killed all Carl's sons and grandsons. 		-, Uhtred the Bold (I2687)

997 Lou Everett was a test pilot and died during an exhibition in front of the military and press when he was showing an experimental Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft.
Biography by his son David from 2006:
Willis Louis “Lou” Everett was born on November 28, 1924, in Brooklyn, New York. Lou graduated from high school at seventeen during World War II, and wanted to fly fighter aircraft for the United States Navy. Because he was too young for the Navy Cadet program, he enlisted in the Army. Within a few months he transferred to the Army Air Corps and began training as a fighter pilot assigned to fly P-51 Mustangs. Stationed in Florida, he was awaiting assignment to go overseas when the war ended.
Lou joined the Mississippi Air National Guard, attended Millsaps College, and continued to fly by crop dusting and instructing at a local air school. While attending Millsaps he married Betty June Coleman and soon after the couple moved to Starkville, Tennessee where Lou enrolled in the Aero Physics Department at Mississippi State University.
In 1950, Lou and June had their first baby, Tom. In December of that year the Mississippi Air National Guard was called to active duty because of the Korean Conflict. The family followed the unit to Albany, Georgia and then to Louisville, Kentucky, where in 1952 their second child, Kathy, was born. Shortly thereafter Lou was called to serve in Korea, where he flew AT-6 Texans on forward air control missions.
Lou returned to the states to resume his education at Mississippi State and graduated in 1954 with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, and joined Chance-Vought in California as an engineer. However, Lou still yearned to fly.
In 1955 June gave birth to their third child, David. Lou was hired by Ryan Aeronautical Company as their second test pilot for the X-13 Vertijet, joining Ryan’s Chief Test Pilot, Pete Girard. The X-13 was the world’s first pure jet VTOL aircraft, and Pete and Lou were the only pilots to fly it. As a result of their research work on the X-13, both Pete and Lou received awards from the New York Academy of Sciences. During this time Lou became one of the original 17 members of the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. In 1957 June gave birth to their fourth child, Glen
During the test phase of Ryan’s VZ-3RY Vertiplane, Pete Girard resigned from test piloting, and Lou became Ryan’s Chief Engineering Experimental Test Pilot. Lou continued testing the Vertiplane and began testing the Flexwing, which was a Rogallo-wing aircraft and a powered fore-runner of modern hang-gliders.
The next project was the XV-5A Vertifan, jointly developed by Ryan and General Electric. The Vertifan employed the lift fan concept to achieve vertical flight, diverting jet thrust to spin louvered fans in the wings and nose.
On April 27, 1965, the two Vertifan prototypes made their public debut during a press demonstration at Edwards. One was to fly horizontally in front of the grandstand, while the other would convert from horizontal to vertical flight and descend. Lou was in the plane scheduled to descend. Flying at 180 knots and an altitude of 800 feet, Lou prepared to transition from conventional to fan mode, but unexpectedly the Vertifan violently pitched nose down. Lou ejected, but the ejection seat failed and his parachute caught on the plane’s high tail. Lou went down with the plane and was killed.
Lou was a devoted family man, an outstanding engineer, and a passionately dedicated test pilot during a seminal time in the history of United States aerospace. 		Everett, Willis Louis "Lou" (I1685)
 
998 Louis served as a fighter pilot during WWII and the Korean War. Everett, Willis Louis "Lou" (I1685)
 
999 Louis was a shovel engineer. He operated the steam shovels to scrape off the dirt above the coal. He worked for several different mines. While working in Eckley, he walked to work every day. It was three and a half miles each way.
A funeral notice said:
The Rev. Fred Haffner, of St. Luke's Lutheran Church, and the Rev. George W. Kohler, of St. John's Reformed Church, will conduct the funeral services for the late Louis Feissner, of 435 Adams street, well-known steam shovel engineer who died Wednesday.
The funeral will be held Saturday at 2 p. m. from the Raymond Nagel Funeral Home, 706 Birkbeck street. Internment will be in the Laurel cemetery at White Haven. Friends and relatives may call at the funeral home from 4 p. m. today until the time of the funeral.  		Feissner, Louis George (I65)
 
1000 Louis was King of Aquitaine (southwest France) from 781 and in 813 became King of the Franks and co-Emperor of the Romans with his father Charlemagne. After his father's death in 814 he became the sole Emperor. After trying to split the kingdom among his sons he ended up fighting three civil wars with his three sons by his first wife when they resisted his attempts to give power to his son by his second wife.
While in Aquitaine he was able to expand the kingdom into Spain by defeating the Muslims. 		-, Louis the Pious Holy Roman Emperor (I3138)
