From "Debrett's Kings and Queens of Britain" by Williamson, ISBN 0-86350-101-X, p 14:
The founders of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms all claimed descent from Woden, a semi-mythical god-king, who, if a real person, must have lived in the 2d or 3d century AD. Their royal pedigrees have been critically examined by Mr Kenneth Sisam and his conclusions can be found in "The Proceedings of the British Academy," vol XXXIX (1953).
