Cynric of Wessex
Cynric was King of Wessex from 534 to 560. Everything known about him comes from the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle''. There he is stated to have been the son of Cerdic, and also (in the regnal list in the preface) to have been the son of Cerdic's son, Creoda. During his reign it is said that the Saxons expanded into Wiltshire against strong resistance and captured Searobyrig or Old Sarum, near Salisbury, in 552. In 556 he and his son Ceawlin won a battle against the Britons at Beranburh, now identified as Barbury Castle.〔Myres, p. 162〕 If these dates are accurate, then it is unlikely that the earlier entries in the ''Chronicle'', starting with his arrival in Britain with his father Cerdic in 495, are correct. David Dumville has suggested that his true regnal dates are 554-581.
==Etymology==
The name Cynric has a straightforward Old English etymology meaning "Kin-ruler." However, as some scholars have proposed that both his predecessor, Cerdic, and successor, Ceawlin, had Celtic names, an alternative etymology has been postulated, deriving the name from Brittonic "Cunorix", meaning "Hound-king" (which developed into ''Cinir'' in Old Welsh, ''Kynyr'' in Middle Welsh).〔Clemoes, p. 30〕
The Wroxeter stone was unearthed in 1967 in a Sub-Roman context (dating to c. 460 - 475 AD〔Wright, R.P. and Jackson, K.H. (1968) `A Late Inscription from Wroxeter', The Antiquaries Journal 48, part 2: 296--300.〕) with the inscription CUNORIX MACUS MAQVI COLINE, which translates as "Cunorix ('Hound-king') son of Maqui-Coline ('Son-of-Holly'), both of which are regarded as Irish personal names.〔Laing, p.114〕〔Wright, R.P. and Jackson, K.H. (1968) `A Late Inscription from Wroxeter', The Antiquaries Journal 48, part 2: 296--300.〕
