About this person

Sigeberht II, nicknamed the Good (Bonus) or the Blessed (Sanctus), was King of the East Saxons, in succession to his relative Sigeberht I the Little. Although a bishopric in Essex had been created under Mellitus, the kingdom had returned to paganism and it was in Sigeberht's reign that a systematic (re-)conversion of the East Saxons took root. Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica, Book III, chapter 22, is the main source on his life.
