Mul of Kent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mul (died 687) may have briefly ruled as king of Kent following its conquest by his brother, Caedwalla of Wessex, in 686.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle tells us that, in 686, "Caedwalla and Mul, his brother, ravaged Kent and Wight." In 687, however, it reports that "Mul was burned in Kent, and 12 other men with him; and that year Caedwalla again ravaged Kent."
In 694, according to the ASC, the people of Kent came to terms with Ine, Caedwalla's successor, and granted him a sum "because they had burned Mul earlier".
Mul’s reign is mentioned in a charter of Swæfheard [1].
