      Ancestry and Progentry of Captain James Blount - Immigrant, by Robert Fr e derick Pfafman, p E-34. Kin g of West Saxon 560 - 577



      Cenred of Wessex was a member of the House of Wessex and a member of t h e direct male line from Cynric to Egbert. It is possible that Cenred ru le d alongside his son Ine for a period. There is weak evidence for join t ki ngships, and stronger evidence of subkings reigning under a dominan t rule r in Wessex, not long before his time. Ine acknowledges his father 's hel p in his code of laws, and there is also a surviving land-grant th at indi cates Cenred was still reigning in Wessex after Ine's accession.

      His father was Ceolwald of Wessex. Cenred had at least four children.

      - Ine, king of Wessex and married Æthelburg of Wessex
      - Ingild, the great-grandfather of Ealhmund of Kent, and the great-gre a t grandfather of Egbert
      - Cuthburh, who married Aldfrith of Northumbria, and became abbess of Wi m borne
      - Cwenburh, who may have succeeded her sister as abbess at Wimborne.
