The House of Wessex, also known as the House of Cerdic,[1] was an Anglo-Saxon dynasty that ruled the Kingdom of Wessex from 519 until 1125. This famous bloodline of English aristocrats was founded by Danish conqueror Cerdic, the leader of the Saxon settlement of England who killed rival Brittonnic king Natanleod in 508.[2] For much of their history, the family were loyal members of the Order of the Ancients with the rank of Grand Maegester passed down as inheritance to the next line. Notable members included Æthelwulf and his descendants Æthelred I, King Alfred,[3] and Queen Æthelflaed.[4] Aelfred brought down the last vestiges of the Order in 878 and reformed it into the Templar Order with the unwitting help of Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan.[3]
