Sceaf. The boy from the sea. Art Print

Sceaf was at the very beginning of the line of royal descent from the West Saxon House, and King AEthelwulf came from the line of his descendants." "He was brought as a child in a ship without oars....he was asleep and a sheaf of corn lay at his head. Therefore he was called Sheaf and taken for a miracle by the people of that region and carefully fostered. When he grew up, he reigned in a town that was called Slaswig and now called Haithebi (Hedeby). Now that district is called Old Anglia..... from it the Anglii (Angles) came to Britain."
