  CREODA, son of CYNEWALD (-[588/95]). The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Penda was the son of "Pybba, son of Creoda, son of Creowald…" when recording Penda´s accession[445], but gives no other details about the lives of these alleged ancestors. Henry of Huntingdon names "Crida" as first king in "regnum Merce" but does not date his reign[446]. Roger of Wendover records that "Credda" became king of Mercia in 585[447]. Henry of Huntingdon records that "Crida rex Merce" died (no date stated but dated to [590/95] from the context) and was succeeded by "filius eius Wipha"[448]. Roger of Wendover records the death of "Credda Merciorum rege" in 588[449]. No corroboration has been found in any earlier sources for any of this information.] [Two children:]...

  List of monarchs of Mercia
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  
  The Kingdom of Mercia was an important monarchy in the English Midlands from the 6th century to the 10th. From the mid-7th century until it ceased to exist as a kingdom, Mercia was the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. Some of its rulers were the first to claim titles such as King of the English and King of Britain. Mercia was one of the seven kingdoms of the Heptarchy. This is a later name given to the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England during the early Middle Ages.[1] Besides Mercia it included Northumbria, Wessex, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, and Sussex.[2]
  
  The first dynasty of Mercian kings are called the Iclingas. The name comes from Icel who ruled the Mercians c. 450.[a][3] Members of this dynasty claimed to be descendants the royal family of their homeland in Western Europe. Mercia became a dominant force under Penda from about c. 632 until his death in 655.[4] Bretwalda, his son, was the first Mercian overlord of the southern English.[5] Offa (757–796), was the first of the Anglo-Saxon kings who might rightly be called "king of the English".[6] Mercia was never again as powerful as it was during Offa's reign.[7] For their successors in England see List of English monarchs.
