Andhun of Sussex
Andhun was an Ealdorman of Sussex under King Ęšelwealh, who was slain by the Wessex prince Cędwalla, who invaded and ravaged Sussex. Berhthun and Andhun succeeded in driving Caedwalla from the Kingdom.
In 686 the South Saxons attacked Hlothhere, King of Kent, in support of his nephew Eadric, but soon after Berhthun was killed and the kingdom subjugated for a time by Ceadwalla, who had now become King of Wessex.
