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 Saxons against him. Hlothhere was defeated and died of his wounds.
