also known as the House of Cerdic
(Cerdicingas in Old English)
-the House of Wessex refers to the family that initially ruled a kingdom in southwest England known as Wessex, from the 6th century under Cerdic of Wessex until the unification of the Kingdoms of England by Alfred the Great and his successors-
(though Alfred’s grandfather ‘egbert’ was the one to start consolidating west saxon domination))
(alfred and his successors would also be part of this dynasty, which would continue ruling in the main line all the way till Alfred’s descendant, ‘Ethelred the Unready’, whose reign in the late 10th century and early 11th century saw a brief period of Danish occupation and following his and his son Edmund Ironside’s death, kingship by the danish ‘Cnut the Great’ and his successors to 1042)
(the “House of Wessex” then briefly regained its power for 24 years, but after the deposition of its last scion, Ethelred’s great-grandson Edgar Atheling would fade into the annals of history after the death of “Edgar Atheling” in 1125)
