CERDIC (d. 534)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 760 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CERDIC (d. 534) , founder of the West Saxon kingdom, is described as an ealdorman who in 495 landed with his son Cynric in
Hampshire
 , where he was attacked at once by the Britons, Nothing more is heard of him until 508, when he defeated the Britons with
great
  slaughter. Strengthened by fresh arrivals of
Saxons
 , he gained another victory in 519 at Certicesford, a spot which has been identified with the modern Charford, and in this year took the title of king. Turning westward,
Cerdic
  appears to have been defeated by the Britons in 520 at Badbury or
Mount
  Badon, in Dorset, and in 527 yet another fight with the Britons is recorded. His last
work
  was the conquest of the Isle of Wight, probably in the
interest
  of some Jutish allies. All the sovereigns of England, except Canute,
Hardicanute
 , the two Harolds and William the Conqueror, are said to be descended from
Cerdic
 .
