Alberht of East Anglia
Alberht (also Ethælbert, Albert or Æthelberht I; ruled from 749) was an eighth century king of East Anglia. He shared the kingdom with Beonna and he's believed to have also shared rule with a supposed ruler named Hun. He may still have been king in around 760.
Historians have accepted that Alberht was a real historical figure who was possibly an heir of Ælfwald of East Anglia. At Ælfwald's death in 749, the kingdom was divided between Alberht and Beonna, who was perhaps a Mercian and who took the lead in issuing regnal coinage and maintaining a military alliance with Æthelbald. East Anglia was probably drawn into the affairs of 757, when Beornred ruled in Mercia, but after Offa seized power, Beonna was still ruling in East Anglia. The evidence of Alberht's single discovered coin indicates that he had sufficient authority to issue his own coinage, a degree of independence that was soon eclipsed by the rapid growth of Offa's power in East Anglia.
== Background ==
Alberht's predecessor Ælfwald died in 749 after ruling his small kingdom for thirty-six years.〔Yorke, ''Kings and Kingdoms'', p. 63.〕 During Ælfwald's rule, East Anglia enjoyed sustained growth and stability, albeit under the senior authority of the Mercian king Æthelbald,〔Archibald, ''The Coinage of Beonna'', p. 23.〕 who ruled his kingdom from 716 until he was murdered by his own men in 757.〔Yorke, ''Kings and Kingdoms'', p. 112.〕 Ælfwald was the last of the Wuffingas dynasty, who ruled East Anglia since the 6th century. The East Anglian pedigree in the ''Anglian collection'', which was probably compiled for Ælfwald, lists his descendants.
