  === Life Sketch ===
  Wig, also Wye, appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as the son of Freawine and a descendant of Woden. He is also identified as the father of Gewis, the father of Esla, the father of Elesa, the father of Cerdic of Wessex who invaded Britain in 495 and founded the kingdom of Wessex.
  
  After the death of their father in combat, he and his brother were raised by King Wermund as his own.
  
  The name of Wig's mother and that of his wife are not identified.
  
  -----------------------------
  Cerdic, first king of the West Saxons (519-534), is recorded as descended from Woden. This mythical descent is set out in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle: "Woden/Bældæg/Brand/Frithugar/Freawine/Wig/Gewis/Esla/Elesa/Cerdic".
  ----------------------------
  
  In its entry for the year 552, following a note that Cerdic's son Cynric fought with the Britons at Sarum and put them to flight, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle adds in a pedigree reaching from Cerdic back to the god Woden: Cerdic was the son of Elesa, Elesa of Esla, Esla of Gewis, Gewis of Wye, Wye of Frewin, Frewin of Frithgar, Frithgar of Brand, Brand of Balday, Balday of Woden.
