Jænberht was an 8th-century Benedictine monk and abbot of St Augustine's Abbey who served as the Archbishop of Canterbury from 765 until 792. Born into a prominent Kentish family, he navigated complex political tensions between the church and the Mercian monarchy. His tenure was marked by significant friction with King Offa, particularly regarding territorial disputes and the king's attempts to diminish the authority of Canterbury by establishing a rival archdiocese at Lichfield.
