==Marriage and children==
At an unrecorded date Wulfhere married [[Eormenhild]] (''alias'' Ermenilda, etc.), a daughter of  [[Eorcenberht of Kent|Eorcenberht]], King of [[Kingdom of Kent|Kent]], who survived him and is thought after his death to have become the Abbess of [[Ely, Cambridgeshire|Ely]].<ref name=Yorke_70/> No issue from the marriage are recorded in the earliest sources, however the following children are recorded by various other sources:
*[[Coenred of Mercia|Coenred]], King of Mercia from 704 to 709, is recorded in [[John of Worcester]]'s 12th-century chronicle as Wulfhere's son.<ref name=Kirby_128/>  
*Berhtwald, a sub-king who is recorded as a nephew of Æthelred,<ref name=Yorke_108/> 
*[[Werburh]] (''alias'' Werburga, etc.), recorded in an 11th-century manuscript as a daughter of Wulfhere.<ref name=BF_Hagio_84/>
*[[Saint Wulfad]], who having been led by a white hart whilst out hunting in a forest with his brother Ruffin, to the hermitage of [[Saint Chad]], was converted by that saint to Christianity. This caused great displeasure of his father, who had relapsed to paganry, and slew both his sons for their actions. Wulfad was slain by his father at [[Stone Priory|Stone]], in Staffordshire, and Ruffin at Burston. Their mother founded [[Stone Priory]] on the spot of the burial of both her sons.<ref>Cope, Norman A., ''Stone: The History of a Market Town'', pp.7-8,[https://books.google.com/books?id=gftiDwAAQBAJ&dq=saint+Wulfad&pg=PA8] quoting sources on p.10, note 5, including Dugdale, Monasticon, Vol.6, Part 1, "an account in a Peterborough book written c.970 AD"; Inscription on a tablet hanging at Stone Priory at the Dissolution, recorded by Dugdale; Henry Bradshaw, ''Life of Saint Werburga of Chester''; Beresford, ''Memories of Old Staffordshire''; Warner, R.H., ''Life and Legends of saint Chad''</ref>
