Anglo-Saxons
The Anglo-Saxons were a Cultural identity, cultural group who inhabited England in the Early Middle Ages. They traced their origins to settlers who came to Britain from mainland Europe in the 5th century. However, the ethnogenesis of the Anglo-Saxons happened within Britain, and the identity was not merely imported. Anglo-Saxon identity arose from interaction between incoming groups from several Germanic peoples, Germanic tribes, both amongst themselves, and with Celtic Britons, indigenous Britons. Many of the natives, over time, adopted Anglo-Saxon culture and language and were assimilated. The Anglo-Saxons established the concept, and the Kingdom of England, Kingdom, of England, and though the modern English language owes somewhat less than 26% of its words to their language, this includes the vast majority of words used in everyday speech. Historically, the Anglo-Saxon period denotes the period in Britain between about 450 and 1066, after Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, th ...

Eadberht Of Lindisfarne
Eadberht of Lindisfarne (died 6 May 698), also known as Saint Eadberht, was Bishop of Lindisfarne, England, from 688 until his death on 6 May 698.Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 219 Life After the death of Saint Cuthbert in 687, Wilfrid acted as administrator of the see of Lindisfarne. His brief tenure was confrontational. Eadberht was consecrated bishop of Lindisfarne in 688. He is credited with securing the buildings of St. Finan’s wooden church with lead, making them more durable. He is also notable as having founded the holy shrine of his predecessor Saint Cuthbert on the island of Lindisfarne, a place that was to become a centre of great pilgrim A pilgrim (from the Latin ''peregrinus'') is a traveler (literally one who has come from afar) who is on Pilgrimage, a journey to a holy place. Typically, this is a physical journey (often on foot) to some place of special significance to the a ...age in later years. It is said that Eadberht favoured po ...

Eadberht Of Northumbria
Eadberht (died 19 or 20 August 768) was king of Northumbria from 737 or 738 to 758. He was the brother of Ecgbert, Archbishop of York. His reign is seen as a return to the imperial ambitions of seventh-century Northumbria and may represent a period of economic prosperity. He faced internal opposition from rival dynasties and at least two actual or potential rivals were killed during his reign. In 758 he abdicated in favour of his son Oswulf and became a monk at York. Origins Eadberht became ruler of Northumbria following the second abdication of his cousin Ceolwulf, who entered the monastery at Lindisfarne. Unlike Ceolwulf's first abdication, which clearly involved force, his second, in favour of Eadberht, may have been voluntary. Eadberht son of Eata was a descendant of Ida of Bernicia through either his son Ocga (Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and Anglian collection) or Eadric (''Historia Brittonum''). The genealogy gives Eadberht's father Eata the cognomen ''Glin Mawr''. Northumbria ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eadberht Of Selsey
Eadberht of Selsey (died circa 716) was an abbot of Selsey Abbey, later promoted to become the first Bishop of Selsey. He was consecrated sometime between 709 and 716, and died between 716 and 731.Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 221 Wilfrid has occasionally been regarded as a previous bishop of the South Saxons, but this is an insertion of his name into the episcopal lists by later medieval writers, and Wilfrid was not considered the bishop during his lifetime or Bede's. As abbot Eadberht received, around 700, a grant of land from Bryni, Ealdorman of Sussex, that was witnessed by Kings Nothelm of Sussex and Watt of Sussex. In a charter dated by Birch about 725, Eadberht was named as the beneficiary of land from King Nothelm, witnessed by King Watt.Birch ''Cartularium Saxonicum'' p. 211 But this charter is now believed to be a forgery from the late 10th century or early 11th century. Eadberht also appears as a witness to an undated charter of Nothelm, togeth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eadbert I Of Kent
Eadberht I was king of Kent from 725 to 748. After his father Wihtred of Kent died, he inherited the kingdom of Kent along with his two brothers Æðelberht II and Alric. Æðelberht II seems to have been the eldest and dominant brother. Eadberht I died in 748, according to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle''. He left a son, Eardwulf, who succeeded as king jointly with his uncle. His one complete surviving charter apparently dates from 14 October 727. Another charter is an altered copy of one issued by Æðelberht II. Other charters attributed to Eadberht I are copies of charters of Eadberht II with “deliberate chronological falsification”.

Eadberht III Præn
Eadberht III Præn was the King of Kent from 796 to 798. His brief reign was the result of a rebellion against the hegemony of Mercia, and it marked the last time that Kent existed as an independent kingdom. Offa of Mercia seems to have ruled Kent directly from 785 until 796, when the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' records that Offa died and Eadberht, "who was by another name Præn", took possession of Kent. Eadberht had apparently previously been in exile on the continent under the protection of Charlemagne, and his rebellion has been seen as serving Frankish interests.D. P. Kirby, ''The Earliest English Kings'' (1991, 2000), pages 147–149. The pro-Mercian Archbishop of Canterbury, Æthelhard, fled during the rebellion. Cœnwulf of Mercia was engaged in correspondence with Pope Leo III at this time concerning the situation of the Church in England, and in the course of this Leo accepted a Mercian reconquest of Kent and excommunicated Eadberht, on the grounds that he was a former pr ...

Eadberht Of Lichfield
__NOTOC__ Eadberht was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield The Bishop of Lichfield is the ordinary of the Church of England Diocese of Lichfield in the Province of Canterbury. The diocese covers 4,516 km2 (1,744 sq. mi.) of the counties of Powys, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire and Wes ... (or perhaps Bishop of Lindsey). Eadberht is known from three charters which he witnessed as bishop, in 869, 875 and 875. However the charters do not identify where he was Bishop of, so it is possible that Burgheard, who also signed the 869 charter, was bishop of Lichfield rather than Lindsey, and vice versa. Eadberht was consecrated between 866 and 869. He died after 875.Fryde, et al.
