known as the <b>House of Cerdic</b>, the <b>House of the West Saxons</b>, the <b>House of the Gewisse</b>, the <b>Cerdicings</b> and the <b>West Saxon dynasty</b>, refers to the family, traditionally founded by <a href="/wiki/Cerdic_of_Wessex" title="Cerdic of Wessex">Cerdic</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Gewisse" title="Gewisse">Gewisse</a>, that ruled <a href="/wiki/Wessex" title="Wessex">Wessex</a> in <a href="/wiki/Southern_England" title="Southern England">Southern England</a> from the early 6th century. The house became dominant in southern England after the accession of <a href="/wiki/Ecgberht,_King_of_Wessex" title="Ecgberht, King of Wessex">King Ecgberht</a> in 802. <a href="/wiki/Alfred_the_Great" title="Alfred the Great">Alfred the Great</a> saved England from Viking conquest in the late ninth century and his grandson <a href="/wiki/%C3%86thelstan" title="Æthelstan">Æthelstan</a> became first king of England in 927. The disastrous reign of <a href="/wiki/%C3%86thelred_the_Unready" title="Æthelred the Unready">Æthelred the Unready</a> ended in Danish conquest in 1014. Æthelred and his son <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Ironside" title="Edmund Ironside">Edmund Ironside</a> attempted to resist the Vikings in 1016, but after their deaths the Danish <a href="/wiki/Cnut_the_Great" class="mw-redirect" title="Cnut the Great">Cnut the Great</a> and his sons ruled until 1042. The House of Wessex then briefly regained power under Æthelred's son <a href="/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor" title="Edward the Confessor">Edward the Confessor</a>, but lost it after the Confessor's reign, with the <a href="/wiki/Norman_Conquest" title="Norman Conquest">Norman Conquest</a> in 1066. All kings of England since <a href="/wiki/William_II_of_England" title="William II of England">William II</a> have been descended from the House of Wessex through <a href="/wiki/William_the_Conqueror" title="William the Conqueror">William the Conqueror</a>'s wife <a href="/wiki/Matilda_of_Flanders" title="Matilda of Flanders">Matilda of Flanders</a>, who was a descendant of Alfred the Great through his daughter <a href="/wiki/%C3%86lfthryth,_Countess_of_Flanders" title="Ælfthryth, Countess of Flanders">Ælfthryth</a>. Additionally, kings since <a href="/wiki/Henry_II_of_England" title="Henry II of England">Henry II</a> have been descended from English kings from the House of Wessex through <a href="/wiki/Henry_I_of_England" title="Henry I of England">Henry I</a>'s wife <a href="/wiki/Matilda_of_Scotland" title="Matilda of Scotland">Matilda of Scotland</a>, who was a great-granddaughter of Edmund Ironside. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=House_of_Wessex&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The House of Wessex became rulers of a unified English nation under the descendants of <a href="/wiki/Alfred_the_Great" title="Alfred the Great">Alfred the Great</a> (871–899). <a href="/wiki/Edward_the_Elder" title="Edward the Elder">Edward the Elder</a>, Alfred's son, united southern England under his rule by conquering the Viking occupied areas of <a href="/wiki/Mercia" title="Mercia">Mercia</a> and <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_East_Anglia" title="Kingdom of East Anglia">East Anglia</a>. His son, <a href="/wiki/%C3%86thelstan" title="Æthelstan">Æthelstan</a>, extended the kingdom into the northern lands of <a href="/wiki/Northumbria" title="Northumbria">Northumbria</a>, which lies above the <a href="/wiki/Mersey" class="mw-redirect" title="Mersey">Mersey</a> and <a href="/wiki/Humber" title="Humber">Humber</a>, but this was not fully consolidated until after his nephew <a href="/wiki/Edgar" title="Edgar">Edgar</a> succeeded to the throne. </p><p>Their rule was often contested, notably by the Danish king <a href="/wiki/Sweyn_Forkbeard" title="Sweyn Forkbeard">Sweyn Forkbeard</a> who invaded in 995 and occupied the united English throne from 1013 to 1014, during the reign of <a href="/wiki/%C3%86thelred_the_Unready" title="Æthelred the Unready">Æthelred the Unready</a> and his son <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Ironside" title="Edmund Ironside">Edmund Ironside</a>.

After <a href="/wiki/Harthacanute" class="mw-redirect" title="Harthacanute">Harthacanute</a>, there was a brief Anglo-Saxon restoration between 1042 and 1066 under <a href="/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor" title="Edward the Confessor">Edward the Confessor</a>, who was a son of Æthelred, who was later succeeded by <a href="/wiki/Harold_Godwinson" title="Harold Godwinson">Harold Godwinson</a>, a member of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Godwin" title="House of Godwin">House of Godwin</a>, possibly a side branch of the Cerdicings (see <a href="/wiki/Ancestry_of_the_Godwins" title="Ancestry of the Godwins">Ancestry of the Godwins</a>).

Chroniclers describe conflicting stories about Edgar's later years, including a supposed involvement in the <a href="/wiki/First_Crusade" title="First Crusade">First Crusade</a>; he is presumed to have died around 1126.
