	Kingdom of Kent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Kingdom of Kent was a kingdom of Jutes in southeast England, one of the seven traditional kingdoms of the so-called Anglo-Saxon heptarchy.
		Kent was the first kingdom in England to be established by the Germanic invaders, and its early emergence allowed it to become relatively powerful in the early Anglo-Saxon period.
		Kent seems to have had its greatest power under Æthelbert; at the beginning of the 7th century: Ethelbert was recognized as Bretwalda until his death in 616, and was the first Anglo-Saxon king to accept Christianity, as well as the first to introduce a written code of laws.

		Eadberht III Præn was the King of Kent from 796 to 798.
		The pro-Mercian Archbishop of Canterbury, Aethelheard, was compelled to flee during the rebellion, and this antagonized the Church.

	Cuthred of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cuðred was a King of Kent (798 - 807).
		After the revolt of Kent under Eadberht III Præn was defeated in 798 by Cœnwulf, he established Cuðred as a client king.
		During Cuðred's reign, the Archbishopric of Lichfield was formally abolished at the Council of Clovesho on October 12, 803, and the Archbishopric of Canterbury thus regained the status of which Offa of Mercia had sought to deprive it.

	Offa of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that "the Mercians and the inhabitants of Kent fought at Otford" in 776.
		This may indicate the possibility that the Mercians were in fact defeated at Otford, but in any case Offa was certainly exercising authority over Kent by 785, and Mercian control lasted until 796, the year of Offa's death, when a rebellion under Eadbert Praen was temporarily successful in regaining Kentish independence.
		The establishment of a new coinage is important evidence for Offa's administrative control over the economy, though there are many difficulties with the chronology and structure of the coinage: a sparse, early coinage was struck at mints in Canterbury, London and somewhere in East Anglia.

		It may be surmised from such evidence that the kings Heahberht (mentioned in a charter of 764) and Egbert (mentioned in a charter of 765) were merely client kings subject to Mercian authority.
		Otford is a village in Sevenoaks District, north-west Kent.
		In his authoritative history, Anglo-Saxon England, Sir Frank Stenton argued that Offa was perhaps the greatest king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, but that the proof of his abilities was obscured by the lack of a historian (such as Bede a half-century earlier, or Asser a century later) to describe his achievements.

	Ealhmund of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A charter of 784 survives, in which Ealhmund granted land to the Abbot of Reculver.
		Significantly, this charter makes no mention of Offa of Mercia, who had ruled Kent directly or indirectly for most of the 760s and 770s; we may consider this as evidence that Ealhmund was acting independent of Offa's authority, perhaps as a consequence of a possible Kentish victory at the Battle of Otford in 776.
		If this was the case, however, it did not last: Offa invaded Kent again around the year 785 and Ealhmund was probably killed in battle.

		William of Malmesbury contrives to attribute this thirty-four year period (between the death of Æthelberht II in 762, and the accession of Eadberht Præn in 796), to the rule of Alric, the third son of Wihtred mentioned by Bede.

		Egbert was thus placed in a position which enabled him to carry out many reforms, and in the performance of these he proved himself a strict disciplinarian; but though stern when correction and rebuke were justly deserved, he was remarkable for his sweetness and gentleness.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ethelhard
		The year 796 was full of incident: the nobles of Kent rose in arms, and rallying round Eadbert Praen, a cleric and a member of their royal house, endeavoured to shake off the yoke of the Mercian Offa.
		The co-operation of Ethelhard and Cenwulf in deposing Eadbert, and in upholding the Mercian cause in Kent, increased the importance of Canterbury, and the archiepiscopal authority of Higbert waned.
		The first document of that type is the profession of obedience to the See of Canterbury made in 796 by Bishop Eadulf of Linsey, who, as a suffragan of Lichfield, ought to have been consecrated by Higbert: it would appear to coincide with the collapse of Higbert's archiepiscopal authority at the death of Offa.

		Eadbert, also bishop of that place, took off the thatch, and covered it, both roof and walls, with plates of lead.
		Thus it is said to have happened in those times that Easter was twice kept in one year; and that when the king having ended the time of fasting, kept his Easter, the queen and her followers were still fasting, and celebrating Palm Sunday.
