for the son of Cerdic Creoda of Wessex File Creda John Speed.JPG thumb right Imaginary depiction of Creoda from John Speed s 1611 Saxon Heptarchy Creoda or Crida c. 540 ref Or circa 520. Google returns 148 results for Creoda being born c. 540 http www.google.com search?hl en&lr &safe off&as qdr all&q creoda 540&btnG Search and 136 results for his birth at c. 520 http www.google.com search?hl en&lr &safe off&as qdr all&q creoda 520&btnG Search . However these dates can only be the result of intelligent guesswork due to the lack of specific records. ref 593 was the first monarch of Mercia , reigning from 584 to 593. Creoda is recorded as having been the son of Cynewald , the grandson of Cnebba , and the great grandson of Icel person Icel consequently, members of the Mercian royal line were known as Iclinga s. Although this suggests that Creoda was only a fourth generation descendant of the first Angles in England , the sources nevertheless record him as having been the first ruler of the Kingdom of Mercia. One explanation for this is that the Mercians had initially settled further east and only moved into the area of what became known as Mercia in the time of Creoda. Like most of the early Anglo Saxons Anglo Saxon kings, very little is known about his life. The Anglo Saxon Chronicle records his death in the year 593.
