Sledda of Essex

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sledda (587? - c. 604) was a King of Essex. He was a son of Aescwine. Sledda's rule is traditionally recorded as beginning in 587, but next to nothing is known about him. He married Ricula, sister of King Aethelbert of Kent. His name appears as being the father of Saebert, whose rule began in 604. Sledda is a direct ancestor of the ealdorman Eadric Streona
