Cuthred was King of Kent from 798 to 807AD. Following the revolt of Kent, under Eadberht III Præn, he was defeated in 798 by Coenwulf marking the last time it was an independent kingdom, and Cuthred was established as a client king. In charters issued by Cœnwulf, King of Mercia, Cuthred is described as the brother of Coenwulf.

During his reign, the Archbishopric of Canterbury regained status over Lichfield and the first raids of Kent been said that Cuthred may have had two sons called Cyneberht and Coenwald.

Check out the renowned Professor Jeffery P. Mass’ collection of short cross pennies – a name synonymous with expertise in numismatics - uploaded to Silbury Coins today!

The Professor Jeffery P. Mass collection of short cross pennies is perhaps the best known name and collection in this corner of numismatics, a Anglo American gentleman who was always willing to share his extensive knowledge of the subject and with virtually unrivalled academic abilities. In his fifteen years of collecting short cross pennies he accumulated not the largest, but arguably the most comprehensive representation of the series. This was recognised by the decision to make his collection the subject of a volume in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles series, an acknowledgement of its importance. Like Jeffrey North before him, Jeffrey Mass undertook the authorship of his own collection. His collection was dispersed following his death in 2001. #numismatics #jefferypmass #medievalcoinsforsale #medieval #shortcrosspenny ...
