EuroAristo Project Note

Roger is currently (20130726) identifying Seaxburh's husband's Cenwalh's ancestor (or perhaps not) Cerdic as the upper limit of Wessex management. Filiations which are probably legendary will be treated as real, with notes to that effect in the biographies of Cerdic's "descendants."
