Ludeca of Mercia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ludeca was the nineteenth King of Mercia, from 826 to 827. He became king after the death of Beornwulf in battle against the rebellious East Angles, but he too was killed in another failed attempt to subjugate them in the next year.
Prior to his rule, he was mentioned in two charters from 824 as a dux under Beornwulf.[1]
