The Kingdom traced its origins back to the Anglo-Saxon settlement of England and the Heptarchy, where it had formerly been known as Wessex before 927. Wessex had been founded as a fiefdom in the 5th century, by Cynric and Cerdic, who founded the House of Wessex, which later transitioned into the House of Westland. Wessex separeted itself from the Kingdom of England when it was formed in 927 and became independent as Westland. Westland, for several decades, remained the most powerful out of the two kingdoms, however England began to overtake Westland in terms of economic and subsequently political power during the 12th and 13th centuries. Before 1923, the Kingdom was one of the longest continuously existing states in history, spanning 10 centuries from its founding to its dissolution.
