(Redirected from Andhun)

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