The son of Ealdorman Cerdic Accynnafon, the young Cerdic Beoden Accynnafon II was born in the year 532. He was the first of House Accynnafon to be born in the Gourdburg.
In the year 544, young Cerdic Accynnafon II arrived at the age of 12. 12 is the traditional age in which young Östron men must decide their path in life. The schooling system of the Östron people becomes divided at this point, into trade, military, and religious paths.
Cerdic Accynnafon II, unlike his father, uncle, and father, chose two paths at once. He trained both as a Knight of the Östonweard, as well as educating himself in history, trade, tactics, math, alchemy, and construction. His father, Ealdorman Cerdic I, wanted him to be a balanced warrior and educated statesman. In the year 546, at the age of 14, Cerdic II started attending Thanesmoots, Military Councils, and Östrade Guild Meetings.
