Cerdic, King of Wessex

Death: 534
Father: Elesa

Family 1:

Cynric, King of Wessex

NOTES: Cerdic, the Saxon Chieftain who founded the Kingdom of Wesses is also considered the virtual founder of the British Monarchy. Earlier genealogy is considered legendary. The only qualification for kingship in early days was that they should be descended from Cerdic. Otherwise, fitness to rule was the only other factor taken into consideration. The genealogy prior to Cerdic should be considered a reignal one and not one of blood; as this always borders on legend.
