Ealhmund was also known as Alckmund of Wessex.
He likely became King of Kent after the death of his father, Egbert II.
He reigned from 784 until his death.

A charter of 784 exists in which Ealhmund granted land to the
Abbot of Reculver. King Offa invaded Kent around this time
and during the invasion Ealhmund was most likely killed in the battle.
