Excerpt from Wanderings in Wessex: An Exploration of the Southern, Realm From Itchen to Otter, With 12 Full-Page Drawings by M. M. Vigers and Over One Hundred Illustrations in the Text by the Author, Map and Plans AS a geographical term Wessex is capable of several interpretations and some misunderstandings. Early Wessex was a comparatively small portion of Alfred's political state, but by the end of the ninth century, through the genius of the West Saxon chiefs, crowned by Alfred's statesmanship, the kingdom included the greater portion of southern England and such alien districts as Essex, Kent, and the distinct territory of the South Saxons.
