Petit anachronisme avec cette graphie qu'on trouve sur Wikipedia. En vieux français, la graphie devait plutôt être Westmoustier. |

= The name Essex originates in the Anglo-Saxon period of the Early Middle Ages and has its root in the Old English Ēastseaxe (i.e. the "East Saxons"), the eastern kingdom of the Saxons (cf. Middlesex, Sussex and Wessex) during the Heptarchy.
= The Kingdom of the West Saxons (Old English: Westseaxna rīce), usually referred to as Wessex (/ˈwɛsɨks/), was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in the south of Great Britain, from 519 until the emergence of a unified English state during the early 10th century.
= The name Sussex is derived from the Middle English Suth-sæxe, which is in turn derived from the Old English Suth-Seaxe which means (land or people) of the South Saxons[8] (cf. Essex, Middlesex and Wessex). The South Saxons were a Germanic tribe that settled in the region from the North German Plain during the 5th and 6th centuries. |
