Wecta (Old English: ''Wægdæg'', Old Norse: ''Vegdagr'') is mentioned in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' and the ''Historia Brittonum''. Wecta is considered mythological, though he shows up in the genealogies as a Saxon ancestor of Hengest and Horsa and the kings of Kent, as well as of Aella of Deira and his son Edwin of Northumbria. Wecta appears in the ''Prologue to the Prose Edda'' as Vegdeg, one of Woden's sons, a mighty king who ruled East Saxony. Although Wecta is mentioned as the father of Witta and the grandfather of Wihtgils in the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' and the ''Historia Brittonum'', the ''Prose Edda'' reverses the order of Witta and Wihtgils in the genealogy. Wecta's mother was Frigg (Frígídá). ==See also== *Anglo-Saxon mythology *Germanic mythology *Godwulf *Norse mythology *English mythology 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「Wecta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
