  Kent, Britain - LoveToKnow 1911
The early part of Hlothhere's reign was disturbed by an invasion of Aethelred of Mercia.
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.
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.

 Hlothhere
Hlothhere was a king of Kent who succeeded his brother Ecgberht in 673 and appears for a time to have reigned jointly with his nephew Eadric[?], son of Ecgberht, as a code of laws still extant was issued under both names.
In 685 Eadric[?], who seems to have quarrelled with Hlothhere, went into exile and led the South Saxons against him.
Hlothhere was defeated and died of his wounds.

 Hlothhere of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hlothhere (died February 6, 685) was a King of Kent who ruled from 673 to 685.
In 685, Eadric went into exile and led the South Saxons against Hlothhere, who was defeated and died of his wounds.
One charter [1] is precisely dated to 1 April 675 in the first year of Hlothhere’s reign, which conflicts with accession date attributed to him by Bede.

 Theodore of Tarsus
Theodore (602-690), seventh archbishop of Canterbury, was born at Tarsus in Cilicia in 602.
On the death of Wighard[?], who had been sent to Pope Vitalian by Ecgberht of Kent[?] and Oswio of Northumbria in 667, apparently for consecration as archbishop, Theodore, who had become prominent in the Eastern work of the church, was recommended by Hadrian of Niridanum[?] to fill the vacant see.
From the first he seems to have ignored the scheme for a separate province of York, but he reorganized the episcopate, assigning Bisi[?] to East Anglia, Putta[?] to Rochester, Hlothhere to Wessex, and Ceadda[?] after reconsecration to Mercia.

 Eadric of Kent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eadric (died August 686?) was a King of Kent (685 - 686).
However, Eadric eventually revolted and defeated Hlothhere with the aid of the South Saxons.
It was not long, however, before Kent faced the overwhelming invasion of the West Saxons under Caedwalla.

 History of England, The Anglo Saxon Period
Another compelling reason cited by Davies is the emergence in Britain of the great plague of the sixth century from Egypt that was particularly devastating to the Britons who had been in close contact with peoples of the Mediterranean.
Hengist and Horsa had arrived in Kent with a small fleet of ships in around 446 AD to aid the Britons in the defense of their lands.
In Kent, King Aethelbert (601-04) was the first to set down the laws of his people in the English language; his laws constitute by far the earliest body of law expressed in any Germanic language.

Following Eadric's death or deposition in 686, Kent became the battleground of a number of usurper and client kings, subject to the power struggles of Mercia and Wessex.
His support for the church became most evident in his decree, probably issued in 708, that the church should be exempt from taxation, a principle that was subsequently taken up by other kings and remained fundamental in English law.
Having established an enviable authority Wihtred settled down to rule Kent during a period of continued prosperity.

is that the charter relates to Kent, and it is the Kentish charters that contain the strongest evidence of Roman origin.

Establishing their bases in what is now Kent, through a series of battles involving greater discipline, a great element of luck, and general lack of co-ordination between the leaders of the various Celtic tribes, the Romans subdued much of Britain in the short space of forty years.
Written evidence concerning the period is scanty, but we do know that the most significant events were the gradual division of Britain into a Brythonic west, a Teutonic east and a Gaelic north; the formation of the Welsh, English and Scottish nations; and the conversion of much of the west to Christianity.

Egbert was the son of King Erconbert of Kent and his wife, Sexburga the daughter of King Anna of East Anglia.
Perhaps Egbert got religion after this, for, in AD 669, he also founded the monastery within the old Roman fort at Reculver for his priest, Bassa; and Chertsey Abbey, which shows that he ruled Surrey for a time, though he appears to have been pushed out by Wulfhere of Mercia in that same year.
Upon his death in AD 673, he was succeeded by his brother, Hlothhere.

Eorcenberht, king of Kent (640-64), married Seaxburh, daughter of Anna, king of the East Angles.
Their sister Eormenburh (also known as Domne Eafe, or Æbba) had married Merewalh, king of the Magonsætan; she returned from Mercia to Kent, was given land on Thanet as wergild for her murdered brothers, and founded Minster-in-Thanet.

In his history of the Emperor Justinian's wars against the Goths, Procopius of Caesarea remarks that the king of the Franks [Theudebert] sent an embassy to Justinian (527-65), with some of the Angles, 'thus seeking to establish his claim that this island was ruled by him' (History of the Wars, VIII.xx.10).
The notion that the Franks exercised or enjoyed some kind of authority over Kent, and other parts of southern England, in the late sixth and early seventh centuries, proceeds from this statement; and it is important, not least because it seems to provide a context for the mission of St Augustine.
The king was either Ine, king of the West Saxons (688-726), or Wihtred, king of Kent (690-725).
