Cnebba was the only son of Icel of Mercia.[2][3] He had a son called Cynewald who succeeded him as king and reigned from c. 554 – c. 584, according to the Anglo Saxon Chronicle [4]
It has been suggested that the village of Knebworth was named after Cnebba as Ickleton is suggested to be named after Icel of Mercia.[5]
