3.4 Cerdic the Founder of England by Paul Harper

Alfred the Great believed that the House of Wessex stretched back to the earliest days of Anglo Saxon England, to the early 6th century, and that the founder was a warrior - Cerdic. But Alfred was a master of propaganda, and was concerned to position Wessex as the most prestigous of all the kingdoms. So did Cerdic actually exist, or just another foundation story? Paul Harper set out to discover the truth. Find out more from Paul's book "Cerdic Mysterious Dark Age King Who Founded England" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
