Eni (East Anglia)

Eni († around 618) came from the Anglo-Saxon royal dynasty of the Wuffinger from the Kingdom of East Anglia .

Life

He was the son of Tyttla and brother of King Rædwald . His three sons Anna , Æthelhere and Æthelwald became kings of East Anglias. Æthelric, named as son in the Anglian collection, is probably just a misspelling for Æthelhere. The most important sources for Eni are a mention in Beda Venerabilis ' Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum and in the Anglian collection , a genealogical list on the descent of King Ælfwalds (713-749) in the Textus Roffensis . Eni probably died around 618.

There is no evidence that Eni ruled himself. A participation in the rule of his brother Rædwald as sub-king is possible but unproven. The sources indicate that Rædwald's successor was his son Eorpwald .
