Notes


[CREODA, son of CYNEWALD (-[588/95]). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Penda was the son of "Pybba, son of Creoda, son of Creowald…" when recording Penda’s accession[445], but gives no other details about the lives of these alleged ancestors. Henry of Huntingdon names "Crida" as first king in "regnum Merce" but does not date his reign[446]. Roger of Wendover records that "Credda" became king of Mercia in 585[447]. Henry of Huntingdon records that "Crida rex Merce" died (no date stated but datedto [590/95] from the context) and was succeeded by "filius eius Wipha"[448]. Roger of Wendover records the death of "Credda Merciorum rege" in 588[449]. No corroboration has been found in any earlier sources for any of this information.] [Two children:] 1.
