Wecta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wecta (Old English: Wægdæg, Old Norse: Vegdagr) is mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and the Historia Britonum, and was a Jutish chieftain who ruled East Saxony in Germany. His mother was Frigg (Frígídá) and his father was Woden.

He is considered mythological, though he shows up in genealogies as an ancestor of Hengest and Horsa and the kings of Kent.
