Sigeberht II of Essex : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sigeberht the Good
Sigeberht II, nicknamed the Good (''Bonus'') or the Blessed (''Sanctus''),〔Yorke, "The Kingdom of the East Saxons." p. 9.〕 was King of the East Saxons (r. ''c''. 653 to ? 660 x 661), in succession to his relative Sigeberht I the Little. Although a bishopric in Essex had been created under Mellitus, the kingdom had lapsed to paganism and it was in Sigeberht's reign that a systematic (re-)conversion of the East Anglians took root. Bede's ''Historia Ecclesiastica'', Book III, chapter 22, is virtually the sole source for his career. == Family ==
Apart from referring to the odd kinsman, Bede offers little that is of help in determining Sigeberht's family connections. Additional evidence is provided by genealogies for Offa, Swithred and Sigered in a 9th-century West-Saxon manuscript and in two post-Conquest sources, i.e. William of Malmesbury's ''Gesta regum'' and John of Worcester's ''Chronicon ex Chronicis'', the latter including a memorandum (''Chronicon'' A) and a genealogical list (''Chronicon'' B). Unfortunately, their testimony is at times confused and contradictory. In a comparative analysis of the material, Barbara Yorke suggests that Sigeberht may perhaps have been the son of Sæward and father of Sigehere.〔Yorke, "The Kingdom of the East Saxons." p. 18.〕
