The Wuffings were the ruling dynasty of East Anglia. They took their name from the early East Anglian king Wuffa. Due to the strong Scandinavian connections revealed in their graves at Sutton Hoo, Newton (1993) has argued that they were probably a branch of the Geatish Wulfing dynasty.
The following family tree includes all kings of East Anglia from 560 until 749 except for the usurper Ricberht.
After 749 East Anglia was ruled either by the Mercians or by kings whose genealogy is not known.
