Wessex

Wessex was an ancient kingdom in Britain. The market town of Ilchester was located in the heart of Wessex, a few miles from which was Sir Edward's Copse, formerly the site of Irongron's Castle. (PROSE: The Secret Lives of Monsters) The Third Doctor once encountered a Sontaran called Linx (TV: The Time Warrior) in the 13th century (TV: The Sontaran Experiment) and stopped him helping Irongron depose the ruler Edward of Wessex. At the time, Wessex was undermanned and prey to Irongron as the King had taken the bulk of the army for an unspecified war. (TV: The Time Warrior)
