Everything about Eadberht Of Selsey totally explained
Eadberht of Selsey was an
Abbot of
Selsey Abbey, later promoted to become the first
Bishop of Selsey, though neither the date of his consecration nor of his death are known. He was consecrated sometime between 709 and 716, and died between 716 and 731.
As Abbot he received, around 700, a grant of land from Bryni, Ealdorman of Sussex, that was witnessed by Kings
Noðhelm and
Watt.
As Bishop he was the purported beneficiary of a charter, dated by Birch about 725, from King
Noðhelm, witnessed by King
Watt. But this charter is now believed to be a forgery from the late 10th century or early 11th century, and is therefore of no value.
Eadberht also appears as a witness to an undated charter of
Noðhelm, together with
Osric and
Eolla. The charter can be approximately dated to some point between about 705 and 717.
His last appearance is as a witness to a confirmation, dated 716, of a charter of
Wihtred, King of Kent.
