 Hlothhere of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hlothhere (died February 6, 685) was a King of Kent who ruled from 673 to 685.
He must have come into conflict with Mercia, since in 676 the Mercian king Æthelred invaded Kent and caused great destruction; according to Bede, even churches and monasteries were not spared, and Rochester was laid waste.
He appears for a time to have reigned jointly with his nephew Eadric, son of Ecgberht, since a code of laws still extant was issued under both their names.

The Chronicle undoubtedly describes the conflict in the south as sharp and bloody; and in spite of the mythical character of the names and events, it is probable that in this respect it rightly preserves the popular memory of the conquest, and its general nature.
The whole weald of Kent and Sussex, the great tract of Selwood in Wessex, the larger part of Warwickshire, the entire Peakland, the central dividing ridge between the two seas from Yorkshire to the Forth, and other wide regions elsewhere, were covered with primaeval woodlands.

It was probably shortly after Offa took Kent that he introduced a reformed coinage based on the Frankish model (see entry on c.765); a second coinage reform was made probably in 792.
Kings of Kent were issuing charters without reference to Mercia earlier in the 760s (S 25, 27, 32, 33), so the takeover can probably be dated fairly closely to 764, though the circumstances are unclear.
Coenwulf faced an invasion from Eardwulf of Northumbria c.801, cancelled the controversial archbishopric of Lichfield in 803, and famously quarelled with the archbishop of Canterbury, Wulfred, in 816.

He may have still been a child when he became king following his father's death on July 14, 664, because his mother Seaxburh was recorded as having been regent.
Ecgberht was succeeded by his brother Hlothhere, who was in turn succeeded by Ecgberht's son Eadric and still later by his other son Wihtred.

The next important occurrence in the reign was the defeat of Beornwulf of Mercia[?] at a place called Ellandun in 825.

On the accession of AEthelwulf, AEthelstan, his son or brother, was made sub-king of Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Essex.
In 851 Ceorl, with the men of Devon, defeated the Danes at Wigganburg, and AEthelstan of Kent was victorious at Sandwich, in spite of which they wintered in England that year for the first time.

Æthelwulf was the son of Egbert and a sub-king of Kent.
Ecgberht sent Ethelwulf "with Ealhstan, Bishop of Sherbourne, and the ealdorman Wulfheard, to gain him the kingdom of Kent."
The marriage to Judith, which was probably considered as likely to lead to a change in the succession to the injury of Ethelbald and the other West-Saxon ethelings, was the primary cause of the conspiracy.
