Traditionally, Kent was settled by a Saxon group called Jutes, from Central Denmark. The type of jewellery they wore shows that many of them may have been Franks. An old story says that the British kingdom of Cantium was given to their first king, Hengest. The Jutes called this place 'Kent'. Hengest lived in the late 5th century. His family were known as the Oiscingas, after his son, Oisc. The kings lived at Canterbury. Their Royal monastery was at St. Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury. The most famous King of Kent was King Aethelbert: He lived in the late 6th century. At first, Aethelbert was a pagan. He married a Christian Princess from France. She was called Bertha. A missionary, named St. Augustine, came to visit them from Italy. Augustine persuaded Aethelbert and all his people became Christians. In the 9th century, Kent was taken over by Wessex. The eldest son of the King of Wessex was given the title, King of Kent, like the Prince of Wales today.
