ECGBERHT, son of EORCENBERHT King of Kent & his wife Seaxburg of the East Anglians ([640/45]-1 Jul 673). Bede records that "Ecgberto filio" succeeded on the death of "Erconberct rex Cantuariorum" and reigned for nine years[349]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names Ecgberht as son of Eorcenberht when recording that he succeeded his father[350]. He succeeded his father in 664 as ECGBERHT King of Kent. He ordered the murder of his first cousins Æthelred and Æthelberht, sons of his father's brother Eormenred[351]. Bede records that, together with Oswiu King of Northumbria, he chose Wighard to succeed Deusdedit as Archbishop of Canterbury in 667, but the archbishop-elect died of plague in Rome immediately after his consecration by Pope Vitalian. King Ecgberht facilitated the arrival in England in 669 of Theodore, the successor chosen by the Pope, who became a powerful church leader after the first synod of the whole English church which met at Hertford 26 Sep 672 until he died 19 Sep 690[352]. Building on the work of his predecessors, King Ecgberht presided over the adoption of new silver penny coinage[353]. King Ecgberht founded Chertsey abbey, implying Kentish control over parts at least of Surrey. Bede, in his general chronology, records the death in 673 of "Ecgberct rex Cantuariorum"[354]. The Annales Lindisfarnenses et Cantuarienses record the death "673 IV Non Iul" of "Ecbert Cantuariorum rex"[355].

Ecgberht, or Egbert (died July 4, 673) was a King of Kent who ruled from 664 to 673, succeeding his father Eorcenberht s:Ecclesiastical History of the English People/Book 4#1.

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's court seems to have had many diplomatic and ecclesiastic contacts. He hosted Wilfrid and Benedict Biscop, and provided escorts to Archbishop Theodore and Abbot Adrian of Canterbury for their travels in Gaul.

The Mildrith legend reports that he had his cousins Aethelred and Aethelberht (sons of his uncle Eormenred) killed and had to pay wergild to their sister Domne Eafe; this may reflect a dynastic struggle that ended in the success of Eorcenberht's line.

A charter records his patronage of the monastery at Chertsey.

Ecgberht was succeeded by his brother Hlothhere, who was in turn succeeded by Eadric and still later by Wihtred.
