Æthelbert II () (725–762) was king of Kent. Upon the death of his father Wihtred,〔Bede's ''Ecclesiastical History''; book 5, ch. 23〕 the kingdom was ruled by his three sons, Æthelbert II, Eadberht I and Alric. Æthelbert seems to have outlived both of his brothers and later reigned jointly with his nephew Eardwulf. He died in 762, according to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' (recorded under 760 due to chronological dislocation). He seems to have left a son, Eadberht II. It is also said (whom? ) that an unnamed daughter married Ealhmund, King of Kent. He issued a charter before his accession,〔(Anglo-Saxons.net, "S1180" )〕 dated 11 July 724, that was witnessed by his father. As king he issued further charters,〔(Anglo-Saxons.net, "S23" )〕〔(Anglo-Saxons.net, "S24" )〕〔(Anglo-Saxons.net, "S25" )〕 confirmed a charter of his brother Eadberht I,〔(Anglo-Saxons.net, "S27" )〕 and witnessed a charter of his nephew Eardwulf.〔(Anglo-Saxons.net, "S30" )〕 During the latter half of Æthelberht II's rule, Kent was under the overlordship of Mercia, but Æthelberht II maintained his position as king. ==See also== * List of monarchs of Kent * Chronology of Kentish Kings 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Æthelbert II of Kent」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
