Gewisse

Description

I Gewisse /jɛˈwiːsə/ erano una tribù o un clan anglosassone dell'Inghilterra ubicata nell'area dell'alto Tamigi attorno al Dorchester . Il nome della tribù deriverebbe dall'antica parola inglese che significava affidabile o sicuro, . La Cronaca anglosassone parla di un antenato eponimo, di nome Giwis. Eilert Ekwall ha ipotizzato che la somiglianza dei toponimi tra i regni di Gewisse e Hwicce suggerisce un'origine comune.
I Gewisse conquistarono Searobyrig nel 552 e Beranbyrig nel 556. Birino convertì i Gewisse al cristianesimo nel 636 battezzando il loro sovrano, Cynegils, e dando vita all'antica diocesi di Dorchester I Gewisse uccisero i tre figli di Saebert dell'Essex attorno 620, sconfissero i britanni nella battaglia di Peonnum nel 660 e dal 676 riuscirono a controllare così saldamente l'odierno Hampshire da dare vita alla Diocesi di Winchester.
