 Under the year 508, a date which is not to be relied upon, the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" reports that Cerdic and Cynric "killed a certain British king named Natanleod, and 5 thousand men with him – after whom the land as far as Cerdic's ford was named "Natanleaga"".Cerdic's ford is identified with Charford in modern Hampshire, and "Natanleaga" with a marshy area, Netley Marsh, close to the town of Totton in Hampshire.Natanleaga, however, probably does not preserve the name of a defeated British king, but is instead derived from the Old English element "naet", wet.
