Cerdic, the Saxon chieftan who founded the kingdon of Wessex,
was also the virtual founder of the British monarchy. The genealogy
of Cerdic listed here should be regarded as legendary. It was one
qualification of the early kings of Wessex that they should be descended
from Cerdic. Otherwise fitness to rule was the only factor taken into
consideration. The strongest kings were Ceawlin, Cedwalla, Ine, and Egbert.
The five kings between Ine and Egbert were eclipsed by the kings of
Mercia and Northumbria, but Egbert acheived lasting supremacy for Wessex,
and was styled in a charter "Rex Anglorum" (King of the English).

No sooner had England been unified under the supremacy of the Kings of Wessex
than the Danes landed with increasing intensity, conquering vast territories
in eastern England. Alfred the Great succeeded only to the kingdom of Wessex.
His successors strongly held the Danes in check, but Ethelred II, the Unready
was forced to flee the country at Christmas 1013, leaving King Sweyn of
Denmark in possession. King Sweyn died the following February, however, and
Ethelred II was restored.

After the death of Ethelred II's son Edmund Ironside, who reigned only seven
months, Sweyn's son Canute, ruled the whole country, but the English royal
family was restored in 1042 with Edward the Confessor. Wessex kings again ruled
until the William, Duke of Normandy, conquered England in 1066. The House of
Cerdic fell and William the Conquerer became King of England the first sovreign
of the House of Normandy.
