(died ‘4 july 673’)
(‘king of kent’ from 664 – 673)
.
*”ecgberht” (or egbert) (died ‘4 july 673’) was a ‘king of kent’ (sometimes called egbert I) who ruled from ‘664’ to ‘673’, succeeding his father ‘eorcenberht’*
.
(he may have still been a child when he became ‘king’ following his father’s death on ’14 july 664′, because his mother ‘seaxburh’ was recorded as having been ‘regent’)
(ecgberht’s court seems to have had many ‘diplomatic’ and ‘ecclesiastic’ contacts)
(he hosted ‘wilfrid’ and ‘benedict biscop’, and provided escorts to ‘archbishop theodore’ and ‘abbot adrian’ of ‘canterbury’ for their travels in ‘gaul’)
(the various versions of the ‘kentish royal legend’ state that, spurred on by his adviser ‘thunor’, he had his cousins Æthelred and Æthelberht (sons of his uncle ‘eormenred’) killed and had to pay ‘wergild’ to their sister ‘domne eafe’, enabling her to build a ‘monastery’ at ‘thanet’; this may reflect a dynastic struggle that ended in the success of eorcenberht’s line)
(the 2 murdered princes were later venerated as ‘saints’ at ‘ramsey abbey’)
(a charter records ecgberht’s patronage of the monastery at ‘chertsey’)
.
(‘ecgberht’ was succeeded by his brother ‘hlothhere’, who was in turn succeeded by ‘eadric’ and still later by ‘wihtred’)
