The above-mentioned king was the son of King Ecgbyrht, and his grandfather was Ealhmund, his great-grandfather Eafa, his great-great-grandfather Eoppa, his great-great-great-grandfather Ingild, brother of Ine, king of the West Saxons, who diedin Rome, and these kings derived their origin from Cenred. Cenred was the son of Ceolwald. His grandfather was Cuthwine, his great-grandfather Ceawlin, his great-great-grand- father Cynric, his great-great-great-grandfather Cerdic, who was the first possessor of the western area of Britain, after he had overcome the armies of the Britons. And his father was Elesa, his grandfather Esla, his great-grandfather Gewis, his great-great-grandfather Wig, his great-great-great-grandfather Freawine, his sixth father Frithogar, his seventh Brond, his eighth Baldr, his ninth Woden, his tenth Frithowald, his eleventh Frealaf, his twelfth Frithowulf, his thirteenth Fin, his fourteenth Godwulf, his fifteenth Geat, his sixteenth Tetwa, his seventeenth Beow, his eighteenth Scyld, his nineteenth Sceaf. And this Sceaf arrived with one light ship in the island of the ocean which is called Skaney, with arms all round him. He was a very young boy, and unknown to the people of that land, but he was received by them, and they guarded him with diligent attention as one who belonged to them, and elected him king. From his family King Æthelwulf derived his descent. And the number of fifty-five years had passed since Ecgbyrht began to reign." |
