Realm of Wessex

The Realm of Wessex (Wessen - Wessek Raelme) refers to the group of territories under the sovereignity of Wessex. Many of such territories are remnants of Wessex's colonial empire regained following its conquest by England in 1532, and independence from the United Kingdom in 1806. The term is often mistakenly used synonymously with Wessophone, which refers to nations where Wessen is the predominant language, this includes Newfoundland.

Territories such as the Channel Islands, were organised as part of the vassal client state of the Earldom of Wessex, and became independent alongside Wessex in 1806. The Channel Islands were then organised as a dependency of Wessex, alongside recaptured Falkland Islands.
