East Anglia

Woden's son Wehha is made the ancestor of the historical Wuffingas dynasty, named after Wehha's son Wuffa. His name appears as Ƿehh Ƿilhelming - Wehha Wilhelming - in the Anglian collection, an East Anglian tally from the Textus Roffensis, an important collection of Anglo-Saxon laws and Rochester Cathedral registers that has survived in the form of two distinct books that were bound together in the 13th century. According to this list, he was the son of Wilhelm, who was the son of Hryþ, who was the son of Hroðmund, the son of Trygil, the son of Tyttman, the son of Caser (Julius Caesar), the son of Woden. Wehha's son Wuffa, after whom the Wuffingas dynasty is named, is also listed.

According to the 9th-century History of the Britons, a man listed as Guillem Guercha was the first of his line to rule as king of the East Angles. The History of the Britons lists Guillem Guercha's descendants and ancestors: 'Woden begat Casser, who begat Titinon, who begat Trigil, who begat Rodmunt, who begat Rippa, who begat Guillem Guercha, who was the first king of the East Angles'. According to the 19th century historian Sir Francis Palgrave, Guercha was a distortion of Wuffa. D. P. Kirby is among those historians who have concluded from this information that Wuffa's father was the founder of the Wuffingas line.
