Edit ProfileCareer
Ecgberht"s court seems to have had many diplomatic and ecclesiastic contacts. He hosted Wilfrid and Benedict Biscop, and provided escorts to Archbishop Theodore and Abbot Adrian of Canterbury for their travels in Gaul. The two murdered princes were later venerated as saints at Ramsey Abbey.
A charter records Ecgberht"s patronage of the monastery at Chertsey.
