list of monarchs of wessex

This is a list of monarchs of Wessex until 924. For later monarchs, see the list of British monarchs. While the details of the later monarchs are confirmed by a number of sources, the earlier ones are in many cases obscure. The names are given in modern English form followed by the names and titles (as far as is known) in contemporary Anglo-Saxon English and Latin, being the prevalent/('official') languages of the time. This was a time when spellings varied widely, even within a document. A number of variations of the details below exist. Amongst these are the preference between and (hard and soft 'th'). The character '7' was used as represent ampersand '&' in contemporary Anglo-Saxon writings.
