House of Wessex family tree
The following chart is a family tree of the kings of the House of Wessex, a dynasty whose members were Kings of Wessex, and then, from Athelstan onwards, Kings of England. The dynasty lasted for over six centuries before being extinguished in the male line by the death of its supposed last member, Edgar Atheling, last Saxon king of England. There is rumor that Edgar the Atheling had a son named Gerald "Longstride" who may have living descendants somewhere in the world with a strong claim to the British throne or at least the Earldom of Wessex.
In places the tree has been extended to show those kings of Wessex or England who were not actually of the house of Cerdic, although in every case these kings are related to the House of Wessex through marriage, and so can be included here. These include Canute the Great and his two sons.
