Cenelm of Mercia

Encyclopedia : C : CE : CEN : Cenelm of Mercia

Cenelm was a son of King Coenwulf of Mercia who, according to some sources, reigned as a seven-year-old child for a few months after his father's death in 821, but was murdered. However, Cenelm was also mentioned in charters from years before, which would be incompatible with an age of seven in 821, and is generally believed to have died before his father, in 812. He would have been the sixteenth king of Mercia.
