(the kingdom of the kentish (old english: cantaware rīce; latin: regnum cantuariorum), today referred to as the kingdom of kent, was an early medieval kingdom in what is now ‘south east england’)
.
(establishing itself in either the 5th or 6th centuries CE, it continued to exist until being fully absorbed into the ‘kingdom of england’ in the 10th century)
(under the preceding ‘romano-british administration’, the area of ‘kent’ faced repeated attacks from ‘seafaring raiders’ during the 4th century CE, with germanic-speaking foederati likely being invited to settle in the area as ‘mercenaries’)
(following the end of ‘roman administration’ in ‘410’, further linguistically ‘germanic’ tribal groups moved into the area, as testified by both ‘archaeological evidence’ and ‘late anglo-saxon’ textual sources)
(the primary ethnic group to settle in the area appears to have been the ‘jutes’, who established their ‘kingdom’ in ‘east kent’, which was potentially initially under the dominion of the ‘kingdom of francia’)
(it has been argued that an ‘east saxon’ community initially settled ‘west kent’, before being conquered by the expanding ‘east kentish’ in the ‘6th century’)
(the earliest recorded king of ‘kent’ was Æthelberht, who as ‘bretwalda’ wielded significant influence over other ‘anglo-saxon kingdoms’ in the ‘late 6th century’)
(the ‘christianization’ of the ‘anglo-saxons’ began in ‘kent’ under Æthelberht’s reign with the arrival of the monk ‘augustine’ of ‘canterbury’ and his ‘gregorian mission’ in ‘597’)
(it was one of the “7 traditional kingdoms” of the so-called “anglo-saxon heptarchy”, but it lost its independence in the 8th century when it became a sub-kingdom of ‘mercia’)
(in the 9th century, it became a sub-kingdom of ‘wessex’, and in the 10th century, it became part of the unified ‘kingdom of england’ that was created under the leadership of ‘wessex’)
(its name has been carried forward ever since as the county of ‘kent’)
(knowledge of ‘anglo-saxon kent’ comes from scholarly study of ‘late anglo-saxon texts’ such as the anglo-saxon chronicle and the ecclesiastical history of the english people, as well as ‘archaeological evidence’ such as that left by ‘early medieval’ cemeteries and settlements, and by the ‘toponymical evidence’ of kentish place-names)
