Ealhmund of Kent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ealhmund, was King of Kent in 784.
There is little historical evidence for his reign. An abstract of a charter dated 784 survives [1], in which Ealhmund granted land to the Abbot of Reculver. But by the following year Offa of Mercia seems to have been ruling directly, as he issued a charter [2] without any mention of a local king.
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Ealhmund was the father of Ecgberht III, later King of Wessex and Kent.
