	Aethelbert of Kent - LoveToKnow 1911
		AETHELBERT, king of Kent, son of Eormenric, probably came to the throne in A.D. The first recorded event of his reign was a serious reverse at the hands of Ceawlin of Wessex in the year 568 (Chronicle) at a place called Wibbandune.
		The nature of this supremacy has been much disputed, but it was at any rate sufficient to guarantee the safety of Augustine in his conference with the British bishops.
		In 597 the mission of Augustine landed in Thanet and was received at first with some hesitation by the king.

	Ethelbert of Kent
		552 -February 24, 616) was the son of Eormenric[?] whom he succeeded as king of Kent in AD 560, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.
		Gregory of Tours, who was a close acquaintance of his wife Bertha, twice calls him simply "a man of Kent", indicating that he wasn't king at the time Gregory's History of the Franks was written, and that Ethelbert more likely became king closer to 590.
		His standing was advanced by his marriage with Bertha, daughter of Charibert, king of the Franks, thus building an alliance with the most powerful state in Europe at that time.

	Offa of Mercia - Slider
		Prior to the rise of Wessex in the 9th century, he was arguably the most powerful and successful of the Anglo-Saxon kings, effectively ruling the whole of England south of the River Humber during the latter part of his reign.
		It may be surmised from such evidence that the kings Heahberht (mentioned in a charter of 764) Egbert (mentioned in a charter of 765) were merely client kings subject to Mercian authority.
		In Anglo-Saxon England, 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.

	Carla Nayland Historical Fiction: Land of Angels, by Fay Sampson. Book review
		The major characters are historical figures, including King Aethelbert of Kent, his Frankish Christian queen Bertha, their son Eadbald, Pope Gregory the Great, St Augustine and the various abbots and bishops of the mission to England.
		Aethelbert is an attractive and interesting character, and I would have liked to see more of him and the political, diplomatic and military concerns he must have had.
		Eorpwald of East Anglia (son of Raedwald) was converted by the king of Northumbria, probably reflecting political pressure or subservience, and at least one East Saxon king ditto under pressure from the king of Kent.

	On how Reliable is Bede's Account of the Conversion of the Anglo-Saxons
		At the time of the mission King Aethelbert of Kent was married to Bertha, a Merovingian princess and a Gaullish Catholic.
		This probably meant "King of Kings" with the implication that Kent (Canterbury and its' King) was likely to be the leading Kingdom of the country at the time; certainly St Augustine never got any further than Canterbury.
		Aethelbert did convert to Christianity along with six thousand of his vassals but there is no indication if there was understanding of the conversion by these people.
