Cuthred (798-807) – brother of the Mercian King Coenwulf who defeated Eadberht Praen and re-annexed Kent, Cuthred effectively acted as the de-facto vassal ruler of Kent until his own death in 807, whereupon Coenwulf took direct control again. During his rule, Kent experienced its first taste of Scandinavian raids.
