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]

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.

Ealhmund is an Anglo-Saxon male name. Notable people with the name include: Saint Alchmund of Hexham (died 780 or 781) King Ealhmund of Kent (ruled in 784) Saint Alchmund of Derby (died c. 800) Bishop Ealhmund of Winchester (died between 805 and 814)
Ecgberht was the son of Ealhmund, who had briefly been King of Kent in 784. Following Offa's death, King Coenwulf of Mercia (796–821) maintained Mercian dominance, but it is uncertain whether Beorhtric ever accepted political subordination, and when he died in 802 Ecgberht became king, perhaps with the support of Charlemagne.
