Various English kings traced their ancestry back to him. Originally pagans, they believed Sceaf was related to their god, [[Woden]], but after they became Christians, they began to doubt this and later came up with a different explanation: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle from the year 855, explains instead that Scef was born in Noah's Ark, interpreting Sceaf as a non-Biblical son of Noah, and then continuing with the ancestry of Noah up to Adam as found in Genesis. Others believe that Sceaf was the son, or a descendant, of [[Japheth]], the ancestor of all Indo-European peoples according to the Bible. Sceaf is technically the earliest known non-Biblical ancestor of the current British Royal Family.
