Died at Rome, Italy, 727-730. It is said that Ina was an Anglo-Saxon king of Wessex (688-726), who had a reputation as a trouble maker, but whose wife Ethelburga taught him right uses of his power and possessions. He is best remembered for restoring Glastonbury Abbey. He abdicated about 726 in order to make a pilgrimage with Ethelburga to Rome, where they ended their days in piety and penance (Benedictines, Encyclopaedia).
