		The theory that Wessex originated with the landing of Cerdic in Southampton Water in 495AD with the kingdom expanding from south to north as stated in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has now largely been refuted based on the evidence from archaeology and historical sources, supported by research by academics such as John Blair and Barbara Yorke.
		Wessex had no cohesive origin but seems to have comprised several kin groups, possibly mercenaries, who finally became territorially established and identifiable to history in the region around Dorchester-on-Thames in Oxfordshire by the mid 6th century.
		Cerdic (the first king of Wessex, whose life was fictionalised by Alfred Duggan in his novel The Conscience Of The King) is an anglicised form of Caradoc, and the names Cynric, Centwine, Caedwalla, are all Celtic.

		Wessex was presumably subject to Penda of Mercia during this interval.

	Mercia
		Roger of Wendover boldly states: "In the year of grace 585, began the kingdom of the Mercians, whose first king was Credda [Creoda]."

		Presumably, the Wessexers would have known about the Welsh to their south, the Irish across the sea to the west and the Scots to the north.
		Vikings have been surnamed "Viking" here for simple ease of data entry, and due to their complicated naming system which gives no surnames, but denotes individuals as eg., Olaf Gudsrodsson (son of Gudrod) or Helgi Gudrodsdottir (daughter of Gudrod).
		This provides a contrast to the Wessexers, whose Wessex "surname" mostly reliably indicates the general territory they occupied in England.
