Eadberht of Selsey was an Abbot of Selsey, later promoted to become the first Bishop of Selsey, though neither the date of his consecration nor of his death are known (Kelly 1998).

As Abbot he received, around 700, a grant [1] of land from Bryni, Ealdorman of Sussex, that was witnessed by Kings Noðhelm and Watt. Nothelm was king of Sussex, England, from AD 692 to AD 714. ...

As Bishop he was the purported beneficiary of a charter [2], dated by Birch about 725, from King Noðhelm, witnessed by King Watt. But this charter is now believed to be a forgery from the late 10th century or early 11th century, and is therefore of no value. Nothelm was king of Sussex, England, from AD 692 to AD 714. ...

Eadberht also appears as a witness to an undated charter of Noðhelm [3], together with Osric and Eolla. The charter can be approximately dated to some point between about 705 and 717. Nothelm was king of Sussex, England, from AD 692 to AD 714. ...

His last appearance is as a witness to a confirmation, dated 716, of a charter of Wihtred, King of Kent [4].
