The final resting place of one of early England’s fiercest rulers may finally have been uncovered.
King Cerdic, the King of Wessex, has been shrouded in mystery for thousands of years The burial place of the first King of England could be tucked within a sleepy Hampshire town with a rich history. New research from author Paul Harper suggests King Cerdic, founder of the Kingdom of Wessex – which grew into England – could be lying in a Hampshire field, long forgotten. Speaking to Metro.co.
’ Though much of the information about King Cerdic is veiled in mystery, he’s widely regarded as the leader of early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in Britain. All of England’s future sovereigns, with the exception of Canute, Hardecanute, the two Harolds and William the Conqueror are said to have descended from him.
