Cerdic (kûr`dĭk, sûr`–), d. 534, traditional founder of the kingdom of Wessex. A Saxon, he and his son Cynric landed on the southern coast of England in 495. Little is certain about him except that later West Saxon kings traced their descent from him through his son Cynric and his grandson Ceawlin. |

The focus of the story is now on the five children of Thirrin and Oskan: Cressida, the heir; Eodred and Cerdic, the warrior twins; Medea, the holder of the Gift; and Charlemagne, "Sharly," the youngest at 14 whose lame leg has kept him from carrying on the Lindenshield warrior tradition. The human choriocarcinoma-derived placental cell line (ref JEG3, ECACC 92120308) was provided by CERDIC (Sophia-Antipolis, France). Adding to the chaos of the retreating Romans and the insurgency of the Woads are the Saxons, an invading Germanic tribe led by Cerdic (Stellan Skarsgard, who seems to enjoy being the heavy) headed south toward Hadrian's Wall - a fortification that cuts Britain in half. |
