Anglo-Saxon kingdom from 519 until England was united in 927 (6)

I believe the answer is:

wessex

(Other definitions for wessex that I've seen before include "Alfred the Great's realm" , "South-west counties of Hardy's novels" , "Saxon kingdom" , "Thomas Hardy country" , "Former kingdom in southern England" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
