On 15 or 24 November 700, Wittiza was anointed king; this forms the last entry in the " Chronica Regum Visigothorum ", a Visigothic regnal list.
22.
Over the following centuries, however, the original, simple chronicle of regnal lists came to be layered upon ( and bookended ) by religious history ( and mythology ).
23.
Alternatively, it may have been Ceol, who is supposed to have been the next king of Wessex, ruling for six years according to the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List.
24.
According to the Regnal List, Ceol was a son of Cutha, who was a son of Cynric; and Ceolwulf, his brother, reigned for seventeen years after him.
25.
The genealogy of Ine and of the kings of Wessex is known from two sources : the " Anglo-Saxon Chronicle " and the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List.
26.
The " Chronicle " gives it as thirty-two years, from 560 to 592, but the Regnal Lists disagree : different versions give it as seven or seventeen years.
27.
In contrast to the regnal lists, which cannot be dated, the " Chronicle of 754 ", written at Toledo, says that " Rudericus " reigned for a year.
28.
The 568 date for the battle at Wibbandun is thought to be unlikely because of the assertion in various versions of the West Saxon Genealogical Regnal List that Ceawlin's reign lasted either seven or seventeen years.
29.
A Visigothic regnal list mentions " Ruderigus " as having reigned seven years and six months, while two other continuations of the " Chronicon Regum Visigothorum " record Achila's reign of three years.
30.
A recent detailed study of the Regnal List dates the arrival of the West Saxons in England to 538, and favours seven years as the most likely length of Ceawlin's reign, with dates of 581 588 proposed.
