Hunberht was consecrated by 824.{{sfn|Fryde|1996|p=216}} The twelfth-century Annals of St Neots says that he crowned Edmund the Martyr as king at Burna on Christmas Day 856, but no source is known for this statement.{{sfn|Gransden|2004}}
Hunberht's date of death is uncertain; he may have died 845 or 856 or in November 869.{{sfn|Fryde|1996|p=216}}
After Hunberht, there was an interruption with the episcopal succession through the Danish Viking invasions in the late 9th and early 10th centuries. By the mid-10th century, the sees Elmham and Dunwich had been united under Bishop Eadwulf.
