Ruler: (Hengist 446-469); Beorhtric 446-495; Byrhtnoth
495-518; Cunnhild 518-545; Beornwulf 545-
Fyrd: 37 thegns, 900 ceorls
Becomes: Lindsey, Sorestan
The lands east of Lincoln were settled in 466 by
Ealdorman Beorhtric in the name of his cousin, Hengist.
Beorhtric and his son Byrhtnoth fought for years to expel
Corneus, a Coritani chieftain, from his new theod.
After Badon, Arthur gives the land to Corneus’ son Derfel,
as Duke of Lindsey. Led by Byrhtnoth’s widow, Cwene
Cunnhild, the Lindissi Saxons retreat en masse to the eastern
marshes, called Sorestan. They raid against Lindsey
and Lonazep, while Cunnhild sacrifices to learn magic.
Duke Derfel fights a life-long campaign against Sorestan.
but never eradicates the numerous Saxon villages hidden
in its woods and marshes.

547-559; Adda 559-563; Frithwulf 563-568; Hussa 568-
Fyrd: 65 thegns, 250 ceorls
Settled to guard the northeast after the removal of the
Votadini to Cambria, the Saxons of Nohaut fight ceaselessly
with their neighbors - both Pict and Brigante. After
Badon, King Barant of Malahaut drives them into the forest
east of Catterick. Ethfrida, widow of Ossa, throws herself
on Barant’s mercy; however, she also sacrifices to
become a formidable magician. In 547 her son Ida subdues
Deira, builds Bamburgh, and declares the independent
cyningdom of Bernicia.
Suth Saexe

Ruler: Aelle 477-518; Earl Celyn 518-553; Earl Cilydd
553-564; Aethelgar 564-
Fyrd: 185 thegns, 2,000 ceorls
Becomes: Earldom of Sussex
Aelle defeated the Regnenses civitas in 477 with only
three ships, while Aurelius was busy elsewhere. After
Aelle captured much of the Channel coast, Aurelius had to
acknowledge him as King of Suth Saexe, despite his
Motanic massacre of civilians at Anderida. Ever ambitious,
he declared himself Bretwalda in 517 and led the
Saxons at Badon.
After Aelle’s death, Arthur gives Sussex to Sir Celyn. Celyn
marries Aelle’s widow, gives other Saxon widows to his
knights, sends their children to be fostered by Christians,
and, by eliminating all taxes on beer and mead production,
encourages Aelle’s former subjects to drink to forget
their past, present, and future. With the fall of the
Pendragon, a distant kinsman resurrects Aelle’s dynasty in
564.
West Saexe
Culture/Religion: SaxonNotanic
Ruler: Cerdic 495-518; King Arthur 518-564; (Cynric 534-
560); Ceawlin 560-
Fyrd: 52 thegns, 800 ceorls
Becomes: Hampshire, Southports, Camelot; Wessex
Vortigern’s son Cerdic and grandson Cynric led a fleet of
Jutes to capture Hantonne in 495. From there, they
expanded south to the Isle of Wight (which became their
base) and north to Venta Belgae, renaming it Winchester
- yet they could never defeat the nearby fort of Portus
Adurni, which became part of Cewissa (above).
Cerdic and Cynric are captured at Badon, and live as
Arthur’s hostages. Arthur creates the county of Hampshire
from Cerdic’s kingdom and rules it as his personal
demesne. He rebuilds Venta Belgae into Camelot. The
conquered Jutes repay Arthur’s compassion and fairness
with their Loyalty. Cerdic dies in 534, and Cynric flees to
the continent, where he claims the title “Cyning of
Wessex.” His son, Ceawlin, succeeds to the title on
Cynric’s death in 560, and, along with his brother Cutha,
joins Mordred’s Saxon army in 564.
