Cuthberht was a Mercian of the 8th century who may have been the same person as an ealdorman of that name who witnessed charters during the reign of Offa.[1] Cuthberht may also be the same person as the Cuthberht mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the entry for 779.[2]
Cuthberht had at least three sons they were:
- Coenwulf, King of Mercia in 796–821.
- Cuthred, King of Kent in 798–807.
- Ceolwulf, King of Mercia in 821–823.
