The only contemporary evidence of Ealhmund is a charter he issued as king of Kent, also without any reference to Offa, in 784. The charter granted land at Sheldwich in Kent to the abbot of Reculver. Ealhmund is not known to have struck any coins, and by 785 Offa had regained control of Kent. Ealhmund had probably been killed or driven out. [1]

The charters S 35 [3] (dated 778), S 36 [4] (dated 779) and S 37 [5] (765 x 785) are in the name of Egbert, while S 38 [6] (dated 784) is in the name of King Ealhmund. The changeover between Ecgberht and Ealhmund cannot be dated more precisely than 779–784. [1] Kent was struggling to remain independent against the growing power of Mercia.
Roman fort wall at Regulbium. In the Romano-British period, the area of modern Kent that lay east of the River Medway was a civitas known as Cantiaca. [1] Its name had been taken from an older Common Brittonic place-name, Cantium ("corner of land" or "land on the edge") used in the preceding pre-Roman Iron Age, although the extent of this tribal area is unknown.
Historians do not agree on Ecgberht's ancestry. The earliest version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Parker Chronicle, begins with a genealogical preface tracing the ancestry of Ecgberht's son Æthelwulf back through Ecgberht, Ealhmund (thought to be king Ealhmund of Kent), and the otherwise unknown Eafa and Eoppa to Ingild, brother of King Ine of Wessex, who abdicated the throne in 726.
