    Where were the Hwicces believed to have lived?

    Question #70002. Asked by smartie806. (Aug 23 06 1:38 PM)

    		The Hwicce () were one of the peoples of Anglo-Saxon Britain. The exact dimensions of their kingdom are unknown; they probably coincided with those of the old diocese of Worcester, the early bishops of which bore the title "'Episcopus Hwicciorum'." It would therefore include Worcestershire, Gloucestershire except the Forest of Dean, the southern half of Warwickshire, and the neighbourhood of Bath.
