House of Wessex: Difference between revisions

The House of Wessex, also known as the House of Cerdic,^[1] was an Anglo-Saxon dynasty that ruled the kingdoms of Wessex and England. 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.^[3]^[4] Notable members included Æthelwulf and his descendants Æthelred I, King Alfred, and Queen Æthelflæd.^[5] Alfred 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.^[4]

The dynasty came to an end in 1125 when Edgar Ætheling died without any male heirs and failed to secure the English throne. By then, the House of Normandy had become the rulers of England after William the Conqueror deposed Harold Godwinson in 1066. However the Wessex bloodline would continue for centuries through the marriage of Matilda of Scotland and Henry I.^[1]
