		And Wessex was strategically strong, with sharp ridges facing north, and none of those long, slow rivers up which the Danes used to steer their long-ships into the heart of Mercia.
		Wessex had moreover developed a local organisation which gave her exceptional resiliency under attack: the alderman at the head of the shire could act on his own account.
		Egbert, king of Wessex, was a descendant of Cerdic, the founder of that

	House of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The House of Wessex refers to the family that ruled a kingdom in southwest England known as Wessex.
		This House was in power from the 6th century under Cerdic of Wessex to the unification of the Kingdoms of England.
		The House, at this point, became rulers of all England (Bretwalda) from Alfred the Great in 871 to Edmund II in 1016.

	Godwin, Earl of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Godwin was the father of Harold II and of Edith of Wessex, wife of Edward the Confessor.
		Wulfnoth was supposedly a sixth generation descendant of King Ethelred of Wessex, the elder brother of Alfred the Great; Ethelred's descendants were passed over in the royal succession, but became prominent nobles in the kingdom.
		In 1037, the throne of England was reportedly claimed by Alfred of Wessex, younger son of Emma of Normandy and Ethelred the Unready and half-brother of Harthacanute.

	Harold Godwinson Summary
		A recent bid to exhume a grave in Bosham church was refused by the Diocese of Chichester in December 2004, the Chancellor ruling that the chances of establishing the identity of the body as Harold II were too slim to justify disturbing a burial place.
		Harold's illegitimate daughter Gytha of Wessex married Vladimir Monomakh Grand Duke (Velikii Kniaz) of Kievan Rus' and is ancestor to dynasties of Galicia, Smolensk and Yaroslavl, whose scions include Modest Mussorgsky and Peter Kropotkin.

		Eadwig (Edwy) (955-59 AD) On the death of Eadred, who had no children, Eadwig was chosen to be king since he was the oldest of the children in the natural line of the House of Wessex.
		For her part, " the strumpet" was eventually referred to as among "the most illustrious of women", and Eadwig, in his short reign, was generous in making grants to the church and other religious institutions.
		With this, Edgar was King of Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex (the three most powerful kingdoms in England at that time), simultaneously and could be considered the first ruler of a United England.

		On the death of the ineffectual Ethelred II 'the Redeless', the banner of Anglo-Saxon resistance against the invading Danes was taken up by Edmund Ironside, the eldest son of Ethelred II, and Ethelflead, daughter of Thored, Ealdorman of Northumbria.
		Edmund, now the head of the House of Wessex, was an altogether different character to his weak and indecisive father.
		Edith of Scotland, the daughter of Malcolm and Margaret, became the wife of Henry I of England.

		Occasionally a king of one of the larger three kingdoms, Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria, would emerge from the dynastic turmoil to be accepted as Bretwalda (Bretanwealda in Old English) or overlord by the others.
		Ealhmund was himself the son of Eafa, King of Wessex, by a Kentish princess.
		The principal or capital town of Wessex was Winchester, it had a monastery, as well as a bishop and it was there that Egbert found men he could promote to the two great Wessex sees of Winchester and Sherborne.

	Kingston Maurward House (I)
		Kingston Maurward House, circa 1790, home of the Pitt family, was used as "Knapwater" house in Hardy's short stories and as "Enckworth House" in The Hand of Ethelberta.
		The house was regularly and substantially built of clean grey freestone throughout, in that plainer fashion of classicism which prevailed at the latter end of the eighteenth century, when the copyists called designers had grown weary of fantastic variations in the Roman orders.
		Thus, Hardy describes the house as a sort of "whited sepulcher," a reflection of the hypocritical owner whose polished surface is belied by his sometimes crude and always sensual character.

	Chronology: History of English
		Wessex kings aspire to similar glory; want to unite all England, and if possible the rest of mainland Britain, under one crown (theirs).
		Under Alfred's terms of victory, England is partitioned into a part governed by the Anglo-Saxons (under the house of Wessex) and a part governed by the Scandinavians (some of whom become underlords of Alfred), divided by Watling Street.
		When they die without issue, the kingdom passes back to the house of Wessex, to young Edward, son of Aethelred and Emma, who had been raised in exile in Normandy.
