Hlothhere
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.
