  Caedwalla of Wessex
Caedwalla was the son of Cenberht, a West Saxon sub-king who had been killed during a Mercian invasion in 661.
Caedwalla himself did not escape unscathed, however: he was badly wounded, and in 688 he was formally converted to Christianity by Saint Wilfrid.
Caedwalla responded with a renewed campaign against Kent, laying waste to its land and leaving it in a state of chaos.

 Caedwalla of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caedwalla was the son of Cenberht, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle traces his lineage back to Cynric and his father Cerdic of Wessex.
At this point, however, Caedwalla abdicated, being succeeded by Ine, and went on a pilgrimage to Rome, possibly because he was dying of the wounds he had suffered while fighting on the Isle of Wight.
Although Caedwalla was, according to the 20th century historian Frank Stenton, "an associate and patron of churchmen", he had never been baptized, and Bede states that he wished to "obtain the peculiar honor of being baptized in the church of the blessed apostles".

He was a son of the underking Cenred and ascended the West-Saxon throne in 688, a year before the death of his predecessor Caedwalla.
