 Kent, Britain - LoveToKnow 1911
The death of Eadric was followed by a disturbed period, in which Kent was under kings whom Bede calls "dubii vel externi." An unsuccessful attempt at conquest seems to have been made by the West Saxons, one of whose princes, Mul, brother of Ceadwalla, is said to have been killed in 687.
His successors Ceolwulf and Beornwulf likewise appear to have held Kent, but in 825 we hear of a king Baldred who was expelled by Ecgbert king of Wessex.
Under the West Saxon dynasty Kent, together with Essex, Sussex and Surrey, was sometimes given as a dependent kingdom to one of the royal family.

 Eadric of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eadric (died August 686?) was a King of Kent (685 - 686).
Eadric was for a time co-ruler alongside his uncle Hlothhere, and a code of laws issued in both their names has survived.
However, Eadric eventually revolted and defeated Hlothhere with the aid of the South Saxons.

 Eadric Streona - Cunnan
The next year, when Ethelred tried to raise a fleet to defend against Viking attacks, Eadric is said to have advised against this, and then to have raised feuds amongst his family which distracted the king.
The implication drawn by the Chroniclers was that, in this, Eadric was complicit with the raiders.
Eadric as a character is, however, acknowledged as a prototypical Elizabethan villain.

 Kent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the aftermath of the decisive defeat of Mercia by Wessex (at the battle of Ellendun in 825), Kent surrendered to, and was subsequently absorbed into, Wessex.
By 694, however, Wihtred seems to be sole king, when, according to the 'Anglo-Saxon Chronicle', "the people of Kent came to terms with Ine [of Wessex]", and agreed to pay compensation for the death, in 687, of his predecessor's brother, Mul.
Heaberht appears as king of Kent in a charter issued (764) by Offa of Mercia at Canterbury.
