		Mercia was one of the pre-Conquest Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England.
		Its centre was in the valley of the River Trent, and its tributaries, but later it grew to extend from the Humber to the Thames, and west to the borders of Wales.
		Later, in 853, the kingdoms allied to "conquer" North Wales, and the Mercian king married the daughter of Ethelwulf, King of the West Saxons.

		However, Cenelm was also mentioned in charters from years before, which would be incompatible with an age of seven in 821, and is generally believed to have died before his father, in 812.

		Her father was Wulfhere king of Mercia whilst her mother was Ermenilda who was herself a daughter of Ercombert, king of Kent and Sexburga who was herself the daughter of a king of East Anglia.
		Her body was found to be miraculously intact despite the passage of some eight or nine years since her death, which was naturally considered to be a sign of divine favour and her tomb therefore became an object of veneration and a centre for pilgrimage.
		In 1057 the church was rebuilt and further endowed by one Leofric, the earl of Mercia by which time Werburga was very firmly linked with Chester and regarded as the protector and patron saint of the city.

		It stated that Cenelm, the little King of the Mercians, had been cruelly murdered and his body hidden in a thicket.
		In an interesting twist, however, local historian, Roger Chambers, suggests that there were two Cenelm half-brothers, one named after the other, and that this may have been the elder of the two; Cenelm the younger being the Saint of popular legend.
