Description

Le Wessex est l'un des royaumes fondés par les Anglo-Saxons en Angleterre durant le Haut Moyen Âge. Il s'étend sur une partie du sud-ouest de la Grande-Bretagne, entre la Domnonée à l'ouest, la Mercie au nord et les royaumes de Kent, de Sussex et d'Essex à l'est.

Au IXe siècle, le Wessex est le dernier royaume anglo-saxon à résister aux invasions vikings. Le roi Alfred le Grand lutte avec succès contre eux, et ses héritiers parviennent à achever la conquête de tous les anciens royaumes anglo-saxons, donnant naissance au royaume d'Angleterre, sur lequel la maison de Wessex règne jusqu'à la mort du roi Édouard le Confesseur, en 1066, suivie de près par la conquête normande.
