Cedric was the first king of Wessex, and, according to tradion, arrived in Britain with his son Cynric and three ships of warriors in AD 495. After fighting and killing a British king named Natanleod in 508, as well as having fought a battle at Charford in 519, Cerdic established the kingdom of Wessex with himself as its first king. When he died in 534, he was succeeded by his son Cynric.

Cedric is attached in some sources as the Anglo-Saxon warlord who fought against Arthur at the Battle of Mount Badon (some time between 490 and 518), but the sources disagree on this, and the dates make it all the more dubious.

Although the traditional belief (as old as the earliest Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, dating to the 800s) contended that Cerdic was one of the Germanic warlords that invaded Britain during his life-time and established Germanic-style kingdoms there, current scholarship is now divided, with some individuals making the argument that Cedric himself was an indigenous Celtic Briton, and that his kingdom became Anglicised over time.

  • england,britain used to have tribes interesting

  • @Soriori hahah, i be a 'freak of culture' then :D

  • @bigtokkie + 1 

  • @bazzatheblue No worries just thought I should share, those warriors died out a long time ago I think. And ya, I did notice it sounded different.

  • @FredettaProductions i see,i am grossly mistaken.My apologies.Have you noticed this video calls the chieftain Cedric,he was really called Cerdic i think.

  • @bazzatheblue actually there were warriors of both viking and Celtic blood, who fought with the vikings

  • they don't build like that anymore

  • ha ha, the Danes who had come after, mixed them quite well

  • @bazzatheblue

    It is the truth,I advise you to see in EUPEDIA,the map of middle Bronze Age cultures in Europe from approximately 4,000 to 3,500 years ago,and map of late Bronze Age cultures in Europe from approximately 3,200 to 3,000 years ago,no proto celts,no germanics.

  • @StellandBlood what?! How can that be true?!I not like this .
