Æthelbert Of Sussex
Aethelbert ( ang, Æðelberht; fl. 8th century) was King of Sussex, but is known only from charters. The dates of Æðelberht's reign are unknown beyond the fact that it overlapped at least in part with the bishopric of Sigeferth of Selsey, as Sigeferth witnessed an undated charter of Æðelberht in which Æðelberht is styled ''Ethelbertus rex Sussaxonum''. Sigeferth, called Sicgga for short, was the 3rd Bishop of Selsey, consecrated in 733 by Archbishop Tatwine, and was still bishop in 747, when he attended the Synod of Clofesho. His date of death is unknown. Another undated charter, in which Æðelberht is called ''Adelbertus rex Australium Saxonum'' (Æðelberht, King of the South Saxons), is believed to be a forgery. Barker (1947) commented "This pair of charters have certain peculiar phrases, especially the ''firmiter ... præsumat'' which takes the place of a form introduced by ''Si quis'' in most charters. Both state that they were written by the king, and in No. X ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
King Of Sussex
The list of monarchs of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Sussex (or South Saxons) contains substantial gaps, as the chronological details relating to Sussex during the heptarchy is generally poorly documented. No authentic South Saxon king list or genealogy exists, unlike what can be found for other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Most kings are known only from Anglo-Saxon charters, some of which are forgeries, which makes it difficult to date the reigns of each king. The monarchs were either known as kings or ealdormen. According to the charters, most kings did not govern alone: Nothhelm reigned with two or three colleagues and Oslac with four. The locations of the lands granted in their charters indicate that they reigned jointly and that there was no division of territory. Such joint reigns can also be demonstrated for the Hwicce, the East Saxons, and the West Saxons. Indeed, “ ere is nothing remarkable in the existence of two or even more contemporary kings in the same people in the sev ...

Æthelstan Of Sussex
Æðelstan (floruit ''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicatin ... 717–724) was a King, presumably of Sussex, reigning jointly with Noðhelm. He witnessed Noðhelm’s last surviving charter, which is dated 714 in error for 717, as ''Athelstan rex''. There is no indication of his kingdom. The same charter was also witnessed by Queen Æðelðryð, as ''Edeldrið regina'', presumably Æðelstan's wife. Barker (1947) speculated "They may well be the parents of the Æðelberht of twenty years later".

Osmund Of Sussex
Osmund (fl. ) was a King of Sussex, apparently reigning jointly with Oswald, Ælfwald, and Oslac. According to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'', version D, Osmund was reigning in Sussex when Archbishop Cuthbert died in 760, so his rule commenced before that event. Osmund issued a charter, dated 762 in error for 765, as ''Osmundus''. Osmund also issued a charter dated 770 in which he is listed as ''Osmundus rex''. So Osmund’s reign was from in or before 760 to between 770 and 772, as he witnessed a charter of Offa Offa (died 29 July 796 AD) was King of Mercia, a kingdom of Anglo-Saxon England, from 757 until his death. The son of Thingfrith and a descendant of Eowa, Offa came to the throne after a period of civil war following the assassination of Æth ..., King of Mercia, dated 772 as ''Osmund dux''. Evidently he was demoted from king to ealdorman following Offa's conquest of Sussex. References External links * 770s deaths South Saxon monarchs 8th-century Eng ...
