Icel (c. 460 – c. 535), also spelt Icil, is a possible king of Mercia. He was supposedly the son of Eomer (443–489), last King of the Angles in Angeln. Icel supposedly led his people across the North Sea to Britain around 515 during the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain.[1] Icel was the eponymous ancestor of his grandfather's family, the Iclingas.
