	East Sussex, England's Cities, Towns, Villages and Settlements
		It is bordered by the counties of Kent, Surrey and West Sussex and, to the south, by the English Channel.
		Norman influence was already strong in Sussex before the Norman Conquest; the harbours of Hastings, Rye, Winchelsea and Steyning being in the power of the Norman abbey of Fécamp, while the Norman chaplain of Edward the Confessor, Osbern, afterwards bishop of Exeter, held the estate of Bosham.
		Sussex, from its position, was constantly the scene of preparations for invasion, and was often concerned in rebellions.

		Sussex is a traditional county in southern England, divided for administrative purposes into the two counties of West Sussex and East Sussex and the city of Brighton and Hove.
		The county is not wholly on the southward slope, for in the middle northern district it contributes a small drainage area to the Thames basin, and the river Medway rises in it.
		The decline of the Sussex ironworks probably accounts for the small increase of population during several centuries, although after the massacre of St Bartholomew upwards of 1500 Huguenots landed at Rye, and in 1685, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, many more refugees were added to the county.

	The Story of King Aelle
		Aelle warned his men to be prepared for battle, and sure enough three days later they were attacked by a force of natives, who made a lot of noise but who were ill-equipped and badly led, so they were easily put to flight.
		Aelle ordered his commanders to explore the whole area, and later they reported that the island was uninhabited except for a small number of hamlets.
		Aelle was greatly pleased, since he now had sufficient forces to combat any possible attack that might be made upon him.

		Apart from conclusions to be drawn from prehistoric remains, the history of Sussex begins in 477, when the Saxons landed in the west of the county under Aelle and his three sons, and founded the kingdom of the South Saxons (see Kingdom of Sussex).
		The Sussex Archaeological Society, one of the biggest and most prestigious in the UK, has built its reputation largely on its work in discovering the county's prehistoric and Roman past.The Saxons took the Roman city of Regnum, which became Chichester, and drove the British westward, into the forest of Andred.
		After his time the kingdom of Sussex gradually declined, falling entirely under the dominion of Wessex in 823.Interesting Saxon remains are found in numerous cemeteries, and scattered burial places along the south slopes of the Downs.

		It is abundantly clear that the events described were initially of only local relevance and even the occupation of Sussex etc. was at best limited to a relatively small area.
		There is evidence of a Saxon presence in AD 428 (and before) and by AD 441, the Gallic chronicle could report that a significant part of the country was under Saxon control, not to mention any settlement in Bernicia or Deira.

		This confusion serves to underscore the vagueness of historical data at this period.
		Even the dates are uncertain, but may be regarded with a degree of accuracy as by this time other Saxon and Frisian hopefuls were staking their claims on British soil, in particular AELLE in Sussex and possibly CERDIC in Hampshire or Wiltshire.
		Since Aelle was, at this time, regarded as the sovereign English ruler, Oisc was evidently fighting under his command, but Arthur destroyed the Saxon armies and we may presume that Oisc was killed.

		The Venerable Bede (in Historia ecclesiastica) described the Germanic invaders of Britain as Angles, Saxons, and Jutes and said that the East, West, and South Saxons (of Essex, Wessex, and Sussex) were descended from the Saxons.
		This sense of unity was strengthened during long periods when all kingdoms south of the Humber acknowledged the overlordship (called by Bede an imperium) of a single ruler, known as a bretwalda, a word first recorded in the 9th century.
		The first such overlord was Aelle of Sussex, in the late 5th century; the second was Ceawlin of Wessex, who died in 593.
