Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Hlothhere was a king of Kent who succeeded his brother Ecgberht in 673 and appears for a time to have reigned jointly with his nephew Eadric, son of Ecgberht, as a code of laws still extant was issued under both names. Neither is mentioned in the account of the invasion of Ælthelred in 676. In 685 Eadric, who seems to have quarrelled with Hlothhere, went into exile and led the South Saxonss against him. Hlothhere was defeated and died of his wounds. (from an old encyclopedia) This article is from Wikipedia. All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
