Marriage

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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). His niece Eaba (also Eafe, Ebba) was married to Æthelwalh the king of Sussex and mentioned as regina (queen) around 681 .

John Leland (1506–1552) was of the opinion that marriage might have been married to Osthryth , the daughter of King Oswiu of Bernicia . Their children are said to have been Osric and Oswald. This theory is rejected by modern historians.
