Weowara<br />

Center: Wioh (Wye)<br />

Aetheling: Cadda 446-456, Cenwalch 456-462, Penda 463-465,<br />

Oswulf 465-466. Leofsige 466-469, Nothelm 469-473. Lyfing<br />

473-507, Frithuwald 507-518<br />

Cadda was the third of Hengist’s ship captains, given control<br />

of the Great Stour River west of the Eastrige lands.<br />

His theod expanded slowly westward, absorbing smaller<br />

theods in its path and acquiring a reputation for bad luck.<br />

All Weowara’s aethelings died in battle, except<br />

Frithuwald, who stayed home with a broken leg during<br />

the Badon campaign and subsequently fled to the continent.<br />

After Badon, Frithuwald’s abandoned subjects are<br />

British-ruled.<br />

Wilrningas<br />

Center: Tarenteford (Dartford)<br />

Aetheling: Wighelm 432-450. Horsa 450-456, Wiglaf 456-480,<br />

Weohstan 480-482, Merehwit 482, Weohstan 482-495,<br />

Wulfgar 495-512, Wilhelm 512-518<br />

Wighelm and his followers settled in the Thames estuary<br />

before Hengist and Horsa landed at Thanet, as federates<br />

of the Cantiacii. When Vortigern gave Kent to Hengist as<br />

bride price for Rowena in 450, the already-established<br />

Wighelm protested too vigorously and was slain in battle.<br />

Horsa ruled the theod until his own death at the battle of<br />

Aylesford. Subsequently the theod reverted to Wighelm’s<br />

son Wiglaf and remained in the family, except for an<br />

abortive rebellion by a thegn in 482. The Wilmingas<br />

made a good living charging “toll” to ships traveling to<br />

London, using a powerful squadron of ships to control<br />

the Thames estuary - often provoking feuds with other<br />

Saxons. After Badon, Arthur recruits the Wilmingas as<br />

river patrolmen and customs inspectors.<br />

Wincelingas<br />

Center: Melentun (Milton)<br />

Aetheling: Wincel 436-445. Edbert 445-462, Egbalth 463-471,<br />

Wiglaf 471-480. Weohstan 480-495,<br />

Heahwine 495-510, Herewerd 510-518<br />

Wincel was the brother of Wighelm, who founded the<br />

neighboring Wilmingas theod. Wincel’s son Edbert sheltered<br />

Wighelm’s son Wiglaf during Horsa’s control of the<br />

Wilmingas; Wiglaf subsequently ruled both theods until<br />

he was succeeded by his son Weohstan. Weohstan’s two<br />

sons Wulfgar and Heahwine divided the two theods amicably.<br />

the Wincelingas supported the Wilmingas’ river<br />

pi racy.
