Notes


[ŒRIC [Oisc/Æsc], son of HENGIST (-512). Bede names "Oeric cognomento Oisc" as son of "Hengist", adding that the kings of Kent were usually called "Oiscingas" after his name[248]. He was the son of Ochta, son of Hengist, according to the genealogy in the Anglian collection. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 455 Hengist and Horsa fought against King Vortigern at "Agælesfrep" [Aylesford] where Horsa was killed, adding that "after that Hengest succeeded to the kingdom and Æsc his son"[249]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 457 "Hengist and Æesc" fought against the Britons at "Crecganford" [Crayford] where they "slew four thousand men" after which "the Britons…forsook Kent and fled to London"[250]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 465 "Hengist and Æsc" fought against the Welsh near "Wippedesfleot" where they "slew twelve Welsh nobles"[251]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 473 "Hengist and Æesc" fought against the Welsh again[252]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that in 488 "Æsc succeeded to the kingdom and was king of the people of Kent twenty-four years" but does not say that this was when Hengist died[253]. William of Malmesbury records that he was "more intent on defending than enlarging his dominions, never exceeded his paternal bounds"[254]. William of Malmesbury reports that Œric died "at the expiration of twenty-four years [from his accession]"[255].] King Oisc had one son: 1. [OCHTA (-539). Bede records that "Octa" was son of "Oeric cognomento Oisc"[256]. Son of Hengist and father of Oisc according to the genealogy in the Anglian collection. He succeeded his father as king of Kent.] m ---. The name of Ochta's wife is not known. King Ochta & [his wife] had [one child]: a) [EORMENRIC (-[560/80]). Bede names "Irminrici" as son of "Octa"[257]. The sources are contradictory regarding dates. According to William of Malmesbury[258] "to the times of both [King Ochta and King Eormenric] the Chronicles assign fifty-three years". The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the accession of King Æthelberht in 565[259]. However, elsewhere the Chronicle assigns an improbably long reign of fifty three years to Eormenric's son Æthelberht which, assuming the latter did in fact die in 616, would place his father's death in 563. Bede (see below) states that King Æthelberht ruled for fifty-six years, indicating an even earlier accession in 560. The decisive evidence may be provided by the marriage of King Æthelberht which, according to Gregory of Tours, occurred while his father still ruled Kent but which, as explained below, is likely to be dated to [580]. m ---. The name of King Eormenric's wife is not known.] King Eormenric & [his wife] had two children: i) ÆTHELBERHT (after [550]-616). Bede records that "Aedilbert tex Cantuariorum" was "filius Irminrici"[260]. He succeeded his father in [565] as ÆTHELBERHT I King of Kent. - see below. ii) RICULA. Her parentage and marriage are indicated by Bede who records that her son "Saberet nepos Aedilbercti ex sorore Ricula" was king of "provinciæ Orientalium Saxonum", but subject to King Æthelberht, when Augustine appointed Mellitus as bishop in 604[261]. Her marriage indicates the close relationship between Kent and the kingdom of the East Saxons, Yorke suggesting that Kent played a key role in bringing her husband's family to power[262]. Her husband is named by William of Malmesbury as first king of the East Saxons from [587][263], but this is not verified by earlier primary sources. m SLEDDA King of the East Saxons, son of ERCENWINI [Æscwine] (-597).
