The House of Wessex, also known as the ''House of Cerdic'', refers to the family that initially ruled a kingdom in southwest England known as Wessex, from the 6th century under Cerdic of Wessex until the unification of the Kingdoms of England. The House became rulers of all England from Alfred the Great in 871 to Edmund Ironside in 1016. This period of the English monarchy is known as the Saxon period, though their rule was often contested, notably by the Danelaw and later by the Danish king Sweyn Forkbeard who claimed the throne from 1013 to 1014, during the reign of Æthelred the Unready. Sweyn and his successors ruled until 1042. After Harthacanute, there was a brief Saxon Restoration between 1042 and 1066 under Edward the Confessor and Harold Godwinson, who was a member of the House of Godwin. After the Battle of Hastings, a decisive point in English history, William of Normandy became king of England. Anglo-Saxon attempts to restore native rule in the person of Edgar the Ætheling, a grandson of Edmund Ironside who had originally been passed over in favour of Harold, were unsuccessful and William's descendants secured their rule. Edgar's niece Matilda of Scotland later married William's son Henry I, forming a link between the two dynasties. == Timeline of Wessex and England rulers == ImageSize = width:800 height:auto barincrement:12 PlotArea = top:0 bottom:30 right:150 left:20 AlignBars = justify DateFormat = yyyy Period = from:825 till:1066 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:50 start:850 ScaleMinor = unit:year increment:10 start:830 Colors = id:canvas value:rgb(1,1,1) id:w value:rgb(0.75,0.25,0.75) id:d value:yellow id:eon value:Black Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Rulers bar:eon PlotData= align:center textcolor:black fontsize:8 mark:(line,black) width:25 shift:(0,-5) bar:eon color:eon from: 829 till: 1013 color: w text:Wessex from: 1013 till: 1014 color: d text: from: 1014 till: 1016 color: w text: from: 1016 till: 1042 color: d text:Denmark from: 1042 till: 1066 color: w text:Wessex from: 1066 till: 1066 color: eon text: from: 1066 till: 1066 color: w text: width:5 align:left fontsize:S shift:(5,-4) anchor:till barset:Rulers from:829 till: 839 color:w text:"Egbert" from:839 till: 856 color:w text:"Æthelwulf" from:856 till: 860 color:w text:"Æthelbald" from:860 till: 865 color:w text:"Æthelbert" from:865 till: 871 color:w text:"Æthelred" from:871 till: 899 color:w text:"Alfred the Great" from:899 till: 924 color:w text:"Edward the Elder" from:924 till: 924 color:w text:"Ælfweard" from:924 till: 939 color:w text:"Athelstan" from:939 till: 946 color:w text:"Edmund" from:946 till: 955 color:w text:"Eadred" from:955 till: 959 color:w text:"Eadwig" from:959 till: 975 color:w text:"Edgar the Peaceable" from:975 till: 978 color:w text:"Saint Edward the Martyr" from:978 till: 1013 color:w text:"Ethelred the Unready (first reign)" from:1013 till: 1014 color:d text:"Sweyn Forkbeard" from:1014 till: 1016 color:w text:"Ethelred the Unready (second reign)" from:1016 till: 1016 color:w text:"Edmund Ironside" from:1016 till: 1035 color:d text:"Canute" from:1035 till: 1040 color:d text:"Harold Harefoot" from:1040 till: 1042 color:d text:"Harthacanute" from:1042 till: 1066 color:w text:"Saint Edward the Confessor" from:1066 till: 1066 color:eon text:"Harold Godwinson" from:1066 till: 1066 color:w text:"Edgar the Ætheling" barset:skip 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of Wessex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
