	Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wessex was one of the seven major Anglo-Saxon kingdoms (the Heptarchy) that preceded the Kingdom of England.
		Wessex was, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (ASC), founded by Cerdic and Cynric, although the specifics given by the ASC are considered to be suspect.
		Wessex groups are currently campaigning for boundary revisions to the regions in order to more closely match their definitions of Wessex.

	[No title]
		The theory that Wessex originated with the landing of Cerdic in Southampton Water in 495AD with the kingdom expanding from south to north as stated in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has now largely been refuted based on the evidence from archaeology and historical sources, supported by research by academics such as John Blair and Barbara Yorke.
		Wessex had no cohesive origin but seems to have comprised several kin groups, possibly mercenaries, who finally became territorially established and identifiable to history in the region around Dorchester-on-Thames in Oxfordshire by the mid 6th century.
		Cerdic (the first king of Wessex, whose life was fictionalised by Alfred Duggan in his novel The Conscience Of The King) is an anglicised form of Caradoc, and the names Cynric, Centwine, Caedwalla, are all Celtic.
