  • He negotiated with Charlesmagne, King of the Franks
  • In 796 one of the first trade agreement between the two countries was signed
  • Goods were imported and exported through London. Offa was made Master of London and he was able to benefit financially from this trade.
  • He was influenced by the connection he had with Charlemagne and Rome and he chose to import goods for his palace at Tamworth which was considered to be truly beautiful and wonderous.
  • He married his two of his four daughters to the Kings of Wessex and Northumbria and had his son Egfrith crowned during his own reign in 787 to avoid a power vacuum after his death.
