Wehha is a pagan king of the East Angles who was supposed to have ruled during the 6th century, at the time the kingdom was being established by migrants from the Jutland peninsula.
Early sources identify him as a member of the Wuffingas dynasty, which became established around the east coast of Suffolk.
Nothing of his reign is known.
According to the East Anglian tally from the Textus Roffensis, Wehha was the son of Wilhelm.
The 9th century History of the Britons lists both Wehha, who is named as 'Guillem Guercha', the first king of the East Angles, and his son and successor, Wuffa, after whom the dynasty was named.
It has been claimed that the name Wehha was a hypocoristic (shortened) version of Wihstān, from the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, which, along with evidence such as the finds discovered at Sutton Hoo in 1939, suggests a connection between the Wuffingas and a Swedish dynasty, the Scylfings.
