Eorcenberht of Kent (alsoÆrconberht,Earconberht, orEarconbert) (died 14 July 664) was king of theAnglo-Saxon kingdom of Kent from 640 until his death, succeeding his fatherEadbald.^[1]^[2]

TheKentish Royal Legend (also known as theMildrith legend^[3]) suggests that he was the younger son of Eadbald andEmma of Austrasia, and that his older brotherEormenred was deliberately passed over, although another possibility is that they ruled jointly.

According toBede (HE III.8), Eorcenberht was the first king in Britain to command thatpagan "idols" (cult images) be destroyed and thatLent be observed, marking a key point in theChristianisation of Anglo-Saxon England. It has been suggested that these orders may have been officially committed to writing, in the tradition of Kentish law-codes initiated byÆthelberht, but no such text survives.^[4]

After the death ofHonorius,Archbishop of Canterbury, Eorcenberht appointed the firstSaxon archbishop,Deusdedit, in 655.

Eorcenberht marriedSeaxburh of Ely,^[5] daughter of kingAnna of East Anglia. They had two sons,Ecgberht andHlothhere, who each consecutively became king of Kent, and two daughters who both were eventually canonized: SaintEorcengota became a nun atFaremoutiers Abbey on the continent, and SaintErmenilda became abbess atEly.

Eorcenberht was probably buried alongside his parents in the Church of St Mary, which his father had built in the precincts of the monastery of St Peter and St Paul in Canterbury, a church later incorporated within the Norman edifice of St Augustine's.^[6] At that time, his relics were translated for reburial in the south transept ca. A.D. 1087.^[7]
