Creoda of Wessex

Creoda of Wessex (493-534[1]) is a shadowy figure in early Wessex history, mentioned only in the regnal list in the preface of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. There he is stated to have been the son of Cerdic and father to Cynric. He may have ruled Wessex for a short period of time in 534 [1] He apparently had another child, Moalda Kinriksdatter [1], but this is unlikely due to the Swedish last name that is different to his other son Cynric, who didn’t have a surname.
