Swæfberht

For other uses, see Swæfberht of Essex.

Swæfberht was a king of Kent, reigning jointly with Oswine, and possibly also Swæfheard. Swæfberht issued an undated charter that was witnessed by Oswine,^[1] and is probably the Gabertus who witnessed a charter issued by Oswine in July 689.^[2] He is usually combined with Swæfheard because of their similar names and overlapping dates, but multiple kingship was commonplace in Anglo-Saxon England, especially in Essex, where Swæfheard originated.
