Aelle
Saxon King of Sussex, who
with his sons Cymen, Wlencing and Cissa, defeated the Britons at Cymenes
ora (~ 477CE). He fought against them again near Mearc Raedesburna circa
485CE and eventually captured Anderida (modern Pevensey) about the year
491. According to Bede, he held the title Bretwalda, indicating a primacy
among the Saxon kings. It has been proposed that he led the Saxons
at Badon.
