Eorcenberht, king of Kent

From Wikipedia:

Eorcenberht of Kent (d.14 July 664) was king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Kent from 640 until his death, succeeding his father Eadbald[1].

The Mildrith legend[1] suggests that he was the younger son of Eadbald, and that his older brother Eormenred was deliberately passed over, although another possibility is that they ruled jointly.

According to Bede (HE III.8), Eorcenberht was the first king in Britain to command that pagan "idols" (cult images) be destroyed and that Lent be observed. After the death of Honorius, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eorcenberht appointed the first Saxon archbishop, Deusdedit, in 655.

Eorcenberht married Seaxburh of Ely[2], daughter of king Anna of East Anglia. They had two sons, Ecgberht and Hlothhere, who each consecutively became king of Kent, and two daughters who both were eventually canonized: Saint Eorcengota became a nun at Faremoutiers Abbey on the continent, and Saint Ermenilda became abbess at Ely.

Eorcenberht of Kent From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Eorcenberht of Kent (d.14 July 664) was king of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Kent from 640 until his death, succeeding his father Eadbald.[1] The Mildrith legend[2] suggests that he was the younger son of Eadbald, and that his older brother Eormenred was deliberately passed over, although another possibility is that they ruled jointly. According to Bede (HE III.8), Eorcenberht was the first king in Britain to command that pagan "idols" (cult images) be destroyed and that Lent be observed. It has been suggested that these orders may have been officially committed to writing, in the tradition of Kentish law-codes initiated by Æthelberht, but no such text survives.[3] After the death of Honorius, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eorcenberht appointed the first Saxon archbishop, Deusdedit, in 655. Eorcenberht married Seaxburh of Ely[1], daughter of king Anna of East Anglia.

Erconbert, King of Kent (Died AD 664) Erconbert was the son of King Edbald of Kent and his second wife, Emma, the daughter of King Theudebert II of Austrasia. He inherited the Kentish throne upon his father's death in AD 640. According to Bede, he was "the first king to order idols to be destroyed throughout the whole kingdom". He married Princess Sexburga, one of the many saintly daughters of King Anna of East Anglia. Together, they had two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Ercongota, became Abbess of Faremoutier-en-Brie; the younger, Ermengilda, married King Wulfhere of Mercia, and became Abbess of Minster-in-Sheppey and then Ely after her husband's death. The two sons, Egbert and Hlothere were successively Kings of Kent, following their father's death, from the plague, on 14th July AD 664 - the same day as Archbishop Deusdedit of Canterbury.
