	Edwin of Northumbria
		Saint Æduini, Edwine or Edwin (585-October 12, 633), king of Northumbria, was the son of Ælla.
		On the seizure of Deira by Æthelfrith of Bernicia (probably 605), Edwin was expelled and is said to have taken refuge with Cadfan[?], king of Gwynedd.
		It was a condition that Christianity should be tolerated in Northumbria, and accordingly Paulinus was consecrated bishop by Justus in 625, and was sent to Northumbria with Æthelberg.

	CERDIC
		Cerdic was born between 425 and 430, apparently in Wales, being the illegitimate son of a woman named Isaive, through her adultery with Elessa, also known as Eliavres.
		Cerdic, feeling that the advance of the Franks is a danger to his position in Brittany, decides to return to Britain, and sails across the English Channel, arriving in the Southampton area, a few miles south of his former home in Winchester.
		Cerdic was a dominant figure in south west Britain at that time, and in 500 established himself as ruler of the territory that became Wessex.

	King Cerdic of West Saxons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The traditional story, as told in the ASC by the ninth century annalists seeking to find a pedigree for their great Saxon kings, was that Cerdic, the son of Elesa, and his son CYNRIC came to Britain with five ships and landed at Cerdicesford and on that day fought the British.
		The ASC states that in 530 (which may be 549), Cerdic and Cynric obtained the Isle of Wight and slew men at Wihtgarasburh.
		Cerdic died either in 534 or 554 and is believed to be buried at Cerdicesbeorg in the northern part of Hampshire, near Stoke-in-Hurtsbourne, though it is also suggested he died and is buried in Northumbria.

	Whitby Abbey:St Hilda
		Hilda was a great niece of Edwin, King of Northumbria at the time of her birth.
		Edwin, then King of Northumbria, was not one of these converts, but remained and continued to practice his own pagan rites.
		Edwin married his second wife, Ethelburga, daughter of the King of Kent and the marriage was sanctioned only on Edwin giving a pledge, that Ethelburga, who had already been baptised by the Pope`s representative in the Kingdom of Kent, that being Paulinus, should be free to carry on her faith of Christianity.

		Mercia, sometimes spelled Mierce, was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy, in what is now England, in the region of the Midlands, with its heart in the valley of the River Trent and its tributary streams.
		The next two kings, Aethelred and Cenred son of Wulfhere, are better known for their religious activities; the king who succeeded them (in 709), Ceolred, is said in a letter of Saint Boniface to have been a dissolute youth who died insane.
		It is generally believed to have arisen from the union of six of the seven kingdoms of the Heptarchy under Alfred in 886.

	The 5th Century Anglo-Saxon Invasion of England
		An apparent duplication of the stories describing the landings and battles thirteen years later of Cerdic and Cynric and Stuff and Whitgar suggests that a double tradition of the same event is being described, separated by one Easter cycle of ninteen years.
		Cerdic is one of those as is a later king, Caedwalla.
		Myres suggested that Cerdic was the head of a partly British noble family, with blood ties to existing Saxon or Jute settlers, who had been entrusted with the defense of Wessex in the last days of British sub-Roman authority.

	St. Hilda of Whitby
		Edwin had been banished from Northumbria since 588 when king Aethelric of Bernicia, and then his son Aethelfrith (who as if to add salt to the wound had taken Edwin's sister Acha to be his bride) controlled Deira.
		As part of the marriage contract, Aethelburgh was allowed to continue her Roman Christian worship and she was accompanied to Northumbria with her chaplain Paulinus, a Roman monk sent to England back in 601 to assist Augustine's mission in England which was based in Kent.
		Nothing else seems to be known about Hilda in the 16 years after the death of Edwin in 632 up to 648; some conjecture that she did marry, was widowed and then, as was the custom for royal household, intended to retreat to a life in the church.

	Harold Godwinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After her husband's death, the queen is said to have fled for refuge to her brothers Edwin, Earl of Mercia and Morcar of Northumbria but both men made their peace with the Conqueror initially before rebelling and losing their lands and lives.
		Invading what is now Yorkshire in September, 1066, Harald Hardrada and Tostig defeated the English earls Edwin of Mercia and Morcar of Northumbria at the Battle of Fulford near York (September 20), but were in turn defeated and slain by Harold's army five days later at the Battle of Stamford Bridge (September 25).
		Harold now forced his army to march 240 miles (386 kilometres) to intercept William, who had landed perhaps 7000 men in Sussex, southern England three days later on September 28.

	Family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The son (or possibly grandson) of CERDIC, the supposed founder of the kingdom of Wessex.
		Cynric is closely associated in the ASC with his father from the year 494 to his death in 560, but even assuming he was just of age (16) in 494, this would make him 82 at the time of death, an unlikely age, since he was still battling the British only a few years before.
		The West Saxon regnal lists refers to CREODA as the son of Cerdic and father of Cynric, which would help explain the anomaly.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of History of Anglo-Saxons, by Sir Francis Palgrave.
		The utmost extent of their dominions towards the North cannot be ascertained; but they had conquered the town of Bedford: and it was probably in consequence of their geographical position (A.D. 571) with respect to the countries of the Middle and East Saxons, that the name of the West Saxons was given, to this colony.
		About the time that the Saxons under Cerdic and Cynric were successfully warring against the Britons, another colony was seen to establish itself in the territory or kingdom which, from its geographical position, obtained the name of East Saxony; but whereof the district of the Middle Saxons, now Middlesex, formed a part.
		But, however divided, the nations whom we term Anglo-Saxons were thus possessed of the best parts of Britain, whilst the Cymri were driven to the western side of the island, and principally those districts where the natural fortifications of moors and mountains, and lakes, and woods, enabled them to withstand their invaders.
