Sigeberht (meaning roughly "Magnificent Victory") was the King of Wessex from 754 or 755, to around 756.
Sigeberht succeeded his distant relative Cuthred , but was then accused of acting unjustly. After ruling a year he was accused of unlawful acts and removed from power by the witan , a council of nobles.[1] This council was led by Cynewulf who succeeded Sigeberht.[2] Sigeberht was 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 .[3]
