Cerdic was a Saon Earldorman. In 495 he founded a new settlement on the coast of Hampshire, England. He took the title of King of Wessex or King of the West Saxons in 519. In that year he and his son Cynric attacked the Britons with five ships, namely at Charford. The West Saxons have reigned England from that day. He is the ancestor of the English Royal line. In 530 they conquered the Isle of Wight. He died in 534 as the first King of the Wessex.
