      Eafa was an Ealdorman of Wessex who lived 732 to 790 in Anglo-Saxon Engl a nd. Eafa was the son of Eoppa, who was son of Ingild, who was brothe r o f King Ine, King of Wessex, and both were sons of Cenred .

      Eafa himself was not ever king, he was of royal descent from Cerdic (o f W essex) and it is believed his wife was of the Royal House of Kent, wh ic h enabled his son Ealhmund to become King of Kent after King Ecgberh t I I and King Heaberht, who ruled jointly.

      The name of Eafa's wife, the princess of Kent, is not known with certain t y.

      Eafa is not listed among the monarchs of Kent
