• Name	KENT Unknown
  Birth	0758	Kingdom of Kent
  Gender	Female
  Death	Abt 0803	Wessex, England
  Notes	Uncertain Marriage Cawley suggests that while the name of Ealhmund's wife is not known, she may be Kentish .[1] Wikipedia [2] notes that "In the Canterbury Bilingual Epitome, originally compiled after the Norman conquest of England, a later scribe has likewise added to the 784 annal not only Ealhmund's reign in Kent, but his explicit identification with the father of Egbert.[3]Based on this reconstruction, in which a Wessex scion became King of Kent, his own Kentish name and that of his son, Egbert, it has been suggested that his mother derived from the royal house of Kent,[4]a connection dismissed by a recent critical review." [5] Research Notes She was not a child of Aethelbert, joint king of Kent (d. 762) Some popular sources name her as "Alburga."
