Æðelbeorht II, king of Kent

Bron: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Æthelbert_II_of_Kent

Æðelberht II (725 - 762) was king of Kent. Upon the death of his father Wihtred[1], the kingdom was ruled by his three sons, Æðelberht II, Eadberht I and Ælfric. Æthelbert seems to have outlived both of his brothers and later reigned jointly with his nephew Eardwulf. He died in 762, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (recorded under 760 due to chronological dislocation). He seems to have left a son, Eadberht II.

Æthelbert II (Old English: Æðelberht; 725 – 762) was king of Kent . Upon the death of his father Wihtred , the kingdom was ruled by his three sons, Æthelbert II, Eadberht I and Ælfric . Æthelbert seems to have outlived both of his brothers and later reigned jointly with his nephew Eardwulf . He died in 762, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (recorded under 760 due to chronological dislocation). He seems to have left a son, Eadberht II.

It is also said that an unnamed daughter married Ealhmund , King of Kent.

He issued a charter before his accession, dated 11 July 724, that was witnessed by his father. As king he issued further charters, confirmed a charter of his brother Eadberht I, and witnessed a charter of his nephew Eardwulf.

During the latter half of Æðelberht II's rule, Kent was under the overlordship of Mercia , but Æðelberht II maintained his position as king.
