Description
Wessex / WestSeaxeWiki[link]
Wessex was one of the seven major Anglo-Saxon kingdoms that preceded the Kingdom of England.
It was named after the West Saxons and situated in the south and southwest of England. It existed as a kingdom from the 6th century until
the emergence of the English state in the 9th century, and as an earldom between 1016 and 1066.
The earldom was recently revived for Prince Edward.
Today some wish to see Wessex restored as a region of England. There is the Wessex Constitutional Convention making a case for the
region of Wessex and a party of Wessex Regionalists actively supporting that idea.
