A collection of annals written at different times. These were collected together into one chronicle in the time of Alfred the Great (849–899).[3]
This chronicle is not without problems with exact dates and names. But it recorded events that took place a century before Wessex kings became Christian.[4] This was the earliest possible time these annals could have been written down.[4] Another 9th century document included in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is the West Saxon regnal list (a list of West Saxon kings). This document shows Cynric as the grandson of Cerdic.[5]
