	Egbert, King of Wessex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Egbert was the first of the West Saxon kings to conquer nearly all of Britian under his rule, with the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms as satelites of Wessex, and is often considered the first king of England.

	EBK: Egbert I, King of Kent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Egbert was the son of King Erconbert of Kent and his wife, Sexburga the daughter of King Anna of East Anglia.
		King Egbert was apparently filled with horror and confessed to his previous hopes that such a thing such occur.
		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.
