Kings of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Kent

Most of the dates of reigns below have multiple alternate values, the sources being in disagreement. Sources mention multiple rulers, as "underkings", although the exact nature of the relationships is not clear.


The names are given in modern English form followed by the names and titles (as far as is known) in contemporary Anglo-Saxon English and Latin, being the prevalent/('official') languages of the time.


This was a time when spellings varied widely, even within a document. A number of variations of the details below exist. Amongst these are the preference between þ and ð (hard and soft 'th').
