Narrative

[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]

AKA 1st King of the West Saxons. Crowned at Winchester in 532.
Some say he ascended in 519, others 534.

For ancestors of Cerdic, the Anglo Saxon Chronicles attempts to
link Bedwig to the Biblical Noah, while the Prose Edda shows
further descent from Thor and then attempts to link to Greek
mythology.

REF: Royal Genealogies DB: "The genealogy prior to Cerdic
should be considered a reignal one & not one of blood, as this
always borders on legend."
