King of Kent [Ref: HenryII ealhm000 6/20/2010]

784: appears in a charter donating land in Sheldwick, co Kent, to abbot Hwitred and the monastery of Reculver [Ref: HenryII ealhm000 6/20/2010]

two manuscripts of the Anglo Saxon Chronicle mention him, but in late hands. As noted by Plummer, it is possible that the notes in the Chronicle are taken from the charter [Ref: HenryII ealhm000 6/20/2010]

Ealhmund is given the title of "subregulus" by John of Worcester [Ref: HenryII ealhm000 6/20/2010]

784: At this time reigned Elmund King in Kent, the father of Egbert; and Egbert was the father of Athulf (Aethelwulf) [Ref: Weis AR7 #1]

The supposed descent of the West Saxon kings from the Merovingians by way of the kings of Kent is pure guesswork. King Ecgbert of Wessex was the son of a man named Ealhmund, who has sometimes been identified with the sub-king of Kent of the same name who appears during the reign of Offa of Mercia, but there is no evidence for this identification beyond the fact that Ecgbert's father and the Kentish subking had the same name and lived during the same time. The is no record of any marriage occurring between the dynasty of Wessex and the dynasty of Kent. The "evidence" in this case is the fact that the name Ecgbert was also borne by two Kentish kings, and on this basis (bolstered by the uncertain identification of the two Ealhmunds mentioned above), it has been conjectured that Ecgbert of Wessex was descended from one of the Kentish Ecgberts, which might then give a Merovingian descent by way of the Merovingian Bertha, wife of king Aethelbald of Kent. Given the completely conjectural nature of this claimed descent, and the lack of supporting evidence, I think it is best to take it with a grain of salt. [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 8/2/1996]
