Æthelbert II of Kent

Æthelbert II (Old English: Æðelberht; c. 725–762) was king of Kent.

Upon the death of his father Wihtred,[1] the kingdom was ruled by Æthelbert II and his brothers 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 issued a charter before his accession,[2] dated 11 July 724, that was witnessed by his father.
