Cuthred of Kent

Cuthred (Old English: Cuþræd) was the King of Kent from 798 to 807.

After the revolt of Kent under Eadberht III Præn was defeated in 798 by Coenwulf, Cuthred was established as a client king.

During Cuthred's reign, the Archbishopric of Lichfield was formally abolished at the Council of Clovesho on 12 October 803, and the Archbishopric of Canterbury thus regained the status of which Offa of Mercia had sought to deprive it.

Cuthred's reign also saw the first raids on Kent by the Vikings.

After his death in 807, Cœnwulf seems to have acted as King of Kent.
