Ina
or INE (ē'nä), a King of the West Saxons in the 7th and 8th centuries.
He succeeded Ceadwalla about 689, and after having obtained advantages over the people of Kent in 694 he turned his arms against the Britons, from whom he wrested Somersetshire and other parts of the west of England. He then made war on the Mercians; but the contest was terminated, without much advantage to either party, by a bloody battle in 715.
He resigned his crown and went as a pilgrim to Rome (728), where he passed the rest of his days in devotion. He was one of the principal legislators of the Anglo-Saxons. His laws are the oldest known to us among the Anglo-Saxon kings, except those of the kings of Kent, and served as the foundation of the code formed by Alfred the Great.
INACHUS (in'ä-kus), in Greek mythology, a river god. He was father of Io and hence ancestor of many ancient royal families.
