Everything about Sigeberht Of Wessex totally explained
Sigeberht of Wessex (Sigeberht means roughly 'Magnificent Victory') was the
monarch of
Wessex from
756 to
757.
Sigeberht succeeded his distant relative
Cuthred, but was then accused of acting unjustly. He was removed from power by a council of nobles, but given control of
Hampshire. There, he was accused of
murder, driven out and ultimately killed. It is possible that this happened under the influence of
Æthelbald of Mercia. His brother
Cyneheard was also driven out, but returned in
786 to kill Sigeberht's successor
Cynewulf.
