CERDIC (7911 words) |
 | Cerdic was born between 425 and 430, apparently in Wales, being the illegitimate son of a woman named Isaive, through her adultery with Elessa, also known as Eliavres. |
| Cerdic, feeling that the advance of the Franks is a danger to his position in Brittany, decides to return to Britain, and sails across the English Channel, arriving in the Southampton area, a few miles south of his former home in Winchester. |
| Cerdic was a dominant figure in south west Britain at that time, and in 500 established himself as ruler of the territory that became Wessex. |
