The South Saxon kingdom whose Andredsweald forest isolation, last pagan holdout stubbornness, and Wilfrid's conversion drama made them the most geographically contained and most dramatically Christianized realm in Anglo-Saxon England.
Kingdom of Sussex — the South Saxon realm founded by Ælle, the first king the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle credits with the title Bretwalda, whose warriors landed on the Sussex coast in 477 and carved a kingdom from the Romano-British population between the South Downs and the sea with a thoroughness that left fewer Celtic place names in Sussex than almost anywhere else in England. Hemmed in by the dense forest of the Weald to the north, the Channel to the south, and more powerful neighbors on every side, Sussex remained the most isolated and conservative of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms — the last to convert to Christianity in 686 under the missionary Wilfrid of York — before being absorbed into the expanding Mercian and then West Saxon hegemonies that would forge England itself.
