Sigeberht (meaning roughly "Magnificent Victory") was the King of Wessex from 754 or 755, to around 756. Sigeberht succeeded his distant relative Cuthred , but was then accused of acting unjustly. After ruling a year he was accused of unlawful acts and removed from power by the witan or council of nobles. [ 1 ]
Sigeberht the Little was king of Essex from 623? to 653. [1] A Sigeberht was the son of Sæward , who was slain in battle against forces from Wessex in 623(?), and father of later king Sighere , but Yorke thought it more likely this was his successor, Sigeberht the Good . [ 2 ]
This battle was fought against Cynegils and Cwichelm of Wessex, the West Saxon kings who invaded their territory with a larger force than the East Saxons could muster in or about 626. They and their brother were killed in a battle against the forces of Wessex. [5] They were succeeded by Sigeberht the Little. [6]
He was son of Sigeberht Sæwarding, probably Saint Sigeberht, but perhaps Sigeberht the Little. He was outlived by Sæbbi, who became the sole ruler of Essex after his death. Sighere and Sæbbi were cousins of their predecessor Swithelm. While Sighere returned to paganism, Sæbbi remained Christian. They soon developed a rivalry.
Cyneheard the Ætheling (died 786) was the brother of Sigeberht, briefly King of Wessex. Sigeberht was deposed in 757 with the agreement of the Witan. Cynewulf of Wessex succeeded as King. In 786 Cynewulf "wished to drive out" Cyneheard. Cynewulf went, thinly attended, to a lady at 'Merantune'.
