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 little 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, and another son is named as Sexbald.
