Æthelberht (; also spelled Ethelbert or Aethelberht) was the King of Wessex from 860 until his death in 865. He was the third son of King Æthelwulf by his first wife, Osburh. Æthelberht was first recorded as a witness to a charter in 854. The following year Æthelwulf went on pilgrimage to Rome and appointed his oldest surviving son, Æthelbald, as king of Wessex while Æthelberht became king of the recently conquered territory of Kent. Æthelberht may have surrendered his position to his father when he returned from pilgrimage but resumed (or kept) the south-eastern kingship when his father died in 858. When Æthelbald died in 860, Æthelberht united both their territories under his rule. He did not appoint a sub-king and Wessex and Kent were fully united for the first time. He appears to have been on good terms with his younger brothers, the future kings Æthelred I and Alfred the Great. The kingdom came under attack from Viking raids during his reign, but these were ...

Æthelberht, King Of The Hwicce
Æthelberht () was a possible King of Hwicce jointly with his presumed brothers Æthelheard, Æthelweard, and Æthelric. It is probable that they were all sons of Oshere, although the paternity of Æthelheard and Æthelberht is not explicitly stated in surviving documents. In 692, together with Æthelheard, Æthelweard, and Æthelric, he witnessed a charter of Æthelred, King of Mercia. In 693 the four brothers witnessed a charter issued by their father Oshere. In neither of these charters is he styled king. See also *Hwicce Hwicce () was a kingdom in Anglo-Saxons, Anglo-Saxon England.

Æthelbert II Of Kent
Æthelbert II (; c. 725–762) was king of Kent. Upon the death of his father Wihtred, the kingdom was ruled by Æthelbert II and his brothers Eadberht I and Alric. Æthelbert seems to have outlived both of his brothers and later reigned jointly with his nephew Eardwulf. He died in 762, according to the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' (recorded under 760 due to chronological dislocation). He seems to have left a son, Eadberht II. He issued a charter before his accession, dated 11 July 724, that was witnessed by his father. As king he issued further charters, confirmed a charter of his brother Eadberht I, and witnessed a charter of his nephew Eardwulf. During the latter half of Æthelberht II's rule, Kent was under the overlordship of Mercia, but Æthelberht II maintained his position as king.

Æthelbert Of Sussex
Aethelbert (; fl. 8th century) was King of Sussex, but is known only from charters. The dates of Æðelberht's reign are unknown beyond the fact that it overlapped at least in part with the bishopric of Sigeferth of Selsey, as Sigeferth witnessed an undated charter of Æðelberht in which Æðelberht is styled ''Ethelbertus rex Sussaxonum''. Sigeferth, called Sicgga for short, was the 3rd Bishop of Selsey, consecrated in 733 by Archbishop Tatwine, and was still bishop in 747, when he attended the Synod of Clofesho. His date of death is unknown. Another undated charter, in which Æðelberht is called ''Adelbertus rex Australium Saxonum'' (Æðelberht, King of the South Saxons), is believed to be a forgery. Barker (1947) commented "This pair of charters have certain peculiar phrases, especially the ''firmiter ... præsumat'' which takes the place of a form introduced by ''Si quis'' in most charters. Both state that they were written by the king, and in No. X ''confixi'' is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Æthelred And Æthelberht
Saints Æthelred and Æthelberht (also ''Ethelred'', ''Ethelbert'') according to the Kentish royal legend (attested in the 11th century) were princes of the Kingdom of Kent who were murdered in around AD 669, and later commemorated as saints and martyrs. Their story forms an important element in the legend of Saint Mildrith, because the monastery of Minster in Thanet is said to have been founded in atonement for the crime. Historical context King Eorcenberht of Kent seized the rule of Kent in 640 in precedence to his elder brother Eormenred. Both were sons of Eadbald of Kent (r. c. 616–640).

Ethelbert (orca)
Ethelbert was a juvenile orca that surfaced in the Columbia River near Portland, Oregon in October 1931. The orca swam from the sea up the river. Being a rare sighting that far up the river, many sportsmen grabbed rifles and guns and began to shoot the whale to try and kill it for themselves. Julius L. Meier, the Governor of Oregon, ordered them to stop. Some thought the whale was healthy but others thought it was slowly dying and needed to be humanely put down. Ed Lessard, a former whaler, and his son Joseph Lessard set out with harpoons and killed the whale, who had gained the name Ethelbert. The body of the whale was retrieved by others and pickled in embalming fluid for preservation. Ethelbert was seized by the State of Oregon and later, through many legal battles going all the way to the Supreme Court, Lessard procured the whale. Some years after, Lessard carted Ethelbert around the country as a showpiece. Due to a result of neighbors complaining about a strange smell Et ...
