Who was the first King of Wessex?
According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the first King of Wessex was Cerdic, who reigned from 519 to 534. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was written centuries later, and the historic record is quite unclear. At least one important historian places Cerdic's reign as 538 to 554, but there is no proof one way or the other. Cerdic, by the way, is a Welsh name, not Saxon. Cynric, who was the next King of Wessex, also had a Welsh name, as did Ceawlin, who followed him. It all makes me very suspicious of those Anglo-Saxons and their Chronicle. There is a link below to a list of Kings of Wessex.
