…It was originally one of the seven kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons in the Middle Ages, and ruled an area roughly covering the present-day counties of Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, and Avon. The name comes from the West Saxon tribe. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, the Saxons, who arrived from the continent around 495, founded the kingdom in southern Hampshire in 519.
