Eanfrith (Hwicce)

The first known kings of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the Hwicce were the two brothers Eanhere and Eanfrith , contemporaries of Wulfhere (658–674 / 675) of Mercia , who ruled together around 660. Both kings were Christians, as were the people of Huicci (Hwicce). Eanfrith's daughter Eaba (also Eafe, Ebba) was married to Æthelwalh , King of Sussex , and was mentioned as regina (queen) around 681 .
