Baldred of Kent

Baldred was a king of Kent, until 825, when he was expelled by Æthelwulf, son of King Egbert of Wessex, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, "because formerly they had been wrongly forced away from their allegiance to his kinsmen".

Fifteen of his coins are known. Could be the father or brother of Ealhmund of Kent.
