  General Notes:

There was PERHAPS a woman named "Alburga AETHELBRYHTING Kent" however she is NOT identified as a daughter of Æthelbert II of Kent and Bertha. She also HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED as the wife of Ealhmund, King of Kent. The name of Ealhmund's wife IS NOT KNOWN.

It appears that someone had confused many different people here.

King Æthelbert I of Kent lived 550 \endash 24 February 616, he did have a wife named Bertha of Kent and they had a daughter named Æthelberg (not Alburga) who was the wife of Eadwine King of Northumbria. Æthelberg died at least 100 years before Ealhmund, King of Kent, was even born.

Æthelbert II of Kent was the great great grandson of King Æthelbert I of Kent, he was NOT married to Bertha of Kent. Bertha was the wife of his Great great grandfather and died LOOOOOONG before he was born.

Æthelbert II of Kent lived about 705\endash 762 and was the son of King Wihtred of Kent. The name of his wife is not known, and he is known only to have had a son: Eadberht II who was King of Kent, jointly with Sigered.
