I hope that this is not too late for you, but one way of finding this
English king might be to look up the Anglo-Norman histories, such as Le
livere de Reis de Brittanie edited by J. Glover for the Rolls series - in
1858
The spelling looks like some i've seen of anglo-saxon kings in these
accounts of the genealogies
I've used these for my work on thirteenth-century illustrated genealogies
and they are quite useful, if not necessarily historically accurate, as
they do also include a form of summarised biography that shows what people
thought some kings were significant for, at least in the twelfth and
thirteenth century
they are also quite short
hope this is of some use
