Sledd or Sledda was King of Kingdom of EssexEssex in the late 6th century, possibly between 587 ? c . 604. Extremely little is known about him. A West Saxon genealogy fragmentarily preserved in London, British Library, Add. MS 23211, possibly of the late 9th century, makes him a son and successor of King scwine of Essex scwine . The post Conquest historians Henry of Huntingdon s Historia Anglorum , Roger of Wendover s Flores Historiarum and Matthew Paris s Chronica Majora substitute his father s name for Eorcenwine Erkenwine , Erchenwine . Though their testimony is centuries removed from Sledd s floruit, it is thought that they drew on alternative pre Conquest material.

MS 23211 trace the line of East Saxon kings no further than Sledd. This suggests that Sledd may have been regarded as the founder of the East Saxon house. On no known authority, Roger of Wendover and Matthew Paris state that Sledd directly succeeded his father on his death in 587. Sledd married Ricula, sister of King thelbert of Kent .

An Essex girl is a pejorative stereotype in the United Kingdom of a female who is said to be promiscuous and unintelligent, characteristics jocularly attributed to women from Essex . It is applied widely throughout the country and has gained popularity over time, dating from the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike Essex man , which became aspirational stereotype for working class voters in the south and east of England who voted for Margaret Thatcher , Essex girl does not carry positive political connotations. Image The stereotypical image was formed as a variation of the dumb blonde bimbo persona, with references to the Estuary English accent, white stiletto heel s, silicone enhanced breasts, peroxide blonde hair, over indulgent use of fake tan lending an orange appearance , promiscuity, loud verbal vulgarity and to socialising at downmarket nightclubs. Time magazine Time magazine has written quote In the typology of the British, there is a special place reserved for Essex Girl, a lady from London s eastern suburbs who dresses in white strappy Sandal footwear sandals and Tanning oil suntan oil , streaks her hair blond, has a command of Spanish language Spanish that runs only to the word Ibiza , and perfects an air of tarty prettiness.
