Wessex was one of the ancient Saxon Kingdoms of England, it broadly included what is now called "The West Country" - Devon, Dorset and parts of Somerset. === === Wessex was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom which was founded c.520AD around Dorchester-on-Thames and is usually considered to have included the counties of; * Hampshire (where the capital of Wessex, Winchester, is located) * Wiltshire * Dorset * Somerset * Isle of Wight * Devon * Berkshire Additionally, Oxfordshire is often considered within the bounds of Wessex as is Gloucestershire, however both these areas alternated between being parts of Wessex or Mercia, the midland kingdom. Cornwall was annexed by Wessex in about 825AD. Around this time Wessex also annexed the previously independent kingdoms of Essex, Sussex and Surrey although these were ruled by the Wessex dynasty they were not considered parts of Wessex, rather subordinate territories whose rulers were either junior members of the Wessex dynasty or paid homage to the Kings of Wessex.
Egbert is considered traditionally to be the first king of England. There are people to claim other kings to have been the first, including King Offa, King Athelstan, and possibly others. The question is not one of history, however, but one of semantics, with the arguers basing their claims on differing ideas of what "King of England" means.
