Swæfheard

Swæfheard

Swæfheard was a king of Kent, reigning jointly with Oswine, Wihtred, and possibly Swæfberht.

Swæfheard’s charter [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+10] dated 1 March 689, in the second year of his reign, identifies his father as Sæberht, King of Essex ("ac consensu patris mei Sebbe regis"). He witnessed two charters of Oswine [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+13] [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+14] , one of which is dated 27 January 690. He was still reigning jointly with Withred in July 692, according to Bede.
