EORCENBERHT, son of EADBALD King of Kent & his second wife Emma of the Franks ([620/25]-14 Jul 664). Bede records that "Earconbercto filio" succeeded after the death of "Eadbald rex Cantuariorum" in 640 and reigned for twenty-four years[327]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Eormenred and Eorcenberht" as the two sons of King Eadbald, adding that Eorcenberht succeeded their father[328]. Roger of Wendover names "Ermenredum et Erkenbertum" as the two sons of King Eadbald, adding that "junior Erkenbertus" deprived his brother of the throne[329]. He succeeded his father in 640 as EORCENBERHT King of Kent. Bede records that he was the first English king to order the destruction of idols throughout his kingdom[330]. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, he was the first English king to enforce the observance of Lent[331]. Bede records the death "pridie Id Jul" of "Erconberct rex Cantuariorum", no year stated[332]. He dates the event to 664 in his general chronology[333].

m ([640/45]) SEAXBURG, daughter of ANNA King of the East Anglians & his [first] wife --- (-after 695). Bede records that "Annae regis Orientalium Anglorum…filia maior Sexburg" married "Earconbercti regis Cantuariorum"[334]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle names "Seaxburh, daughter of Anna king of the East Angles", as mother of Eorcengota[335]. Bede records that "soror eius Sexburg" succeeded "Aedilthrydam, filiam Anna regis Orientalium Anglorum" as abbess of Ely, adding that she planned to remove her sister’s remains sixteen years after she died but found that the body was uncorrupted when the coffin was opened[336].
