Talk:Odin's Son/@comment-4205827-20131204235545

A human Odin (or Woden) is given as the traditional progenitor of a number of Germanic and Norse dynasties, including the Saxon kings of England, the Normans, and the Danes. They included Skjold (Danes and Norse), Beldaeg (Wessex, later England), Wegdaeg (Northumbria) and Wecta (Kent). Little is known about most of these figures or their historicity; the first king of that era that can be traced with certainty is Cerdic (a descendant of Beldaeg).

Anyway; it's probably supposed to be one of those, as opposed to someone named after a Norse god.
