| Notes |
- Hattwigate (Hatwigate, Hatiwigate) appears in older volumes of Royal genealogy (see Sources list for examples) as King or Prince of the Saxons from 480 to his death in 524.
He is the
son of Hartwake, Prince of the Saxons to 480, and the
father of Hulderic, King of the Saxons from 540 - 586.
Although there may be versions of this genealogy from earlier sources than the mid-1700s, there are no sources contemporary to the period he is supposed to have lived, confirm his existence, and he must be considered as totally legendary.
Hatwigate is not named in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. [1]
Research Notes
Legendary Saxon Line of Descent from Witigail to Witikind
George Fisher [2]in 1832 published his Genealogical Companion in which he presented a line of descent of princes and kings in Saxony from Hengist's father Witigail to Witikind the Great, conquered by Charlemagne. While many of these princes exist only in legend, they appear in many popular genealogies and therefore their line of descent is presented here for reference. Birth years are estimated and not part of Fisher's table.
Wihtgils or Witigail, born 380, King of the Saxons, died 434
Hengist, born 425. First king of Kent, died 488.
Audoacer or Hartwaker, born 455, succeeded his father as 15th Prince of the Saxons, died 480.
Hatwigate, born 475,Prince of the Saxons, died 524
Hulderic. born 500, King of the Saxons, died 540
Bodicus, born 525, Prince of the Saxons, died 586
Berthold, born 550, King of the Saxons, died 633.
Sighard, born 630, King of the Saxons, died 691
Dieteric, born 670,, King of the Saxons, died 740, married Dobogesa, daughter of Billung, King of the Vandals
Wernich, born 705, son of Dieteric, King of the Saxons, died 768. Wernich had a brother Ethelbard, also son of Dieteric, also King of the Saxons. Ethelbard had two sons; Albion, was baptized by his cousin Witikund the Great, son of Ethelbard, 785, and Herman was slain by Charlemagne 798,
Witikind the Great, born 755, the last King of the Saxons, conquered by Charlemagne, 785. Consentng to be baptized, the conqueror made him the first Duke of the old Upper Saxony, or on the Weser. He died 807 and was the patriarch of many great families in Europe, amongst whom may be reckoned the present Royal Family of England.
