J.R.R. Tolkien once refered to himself as a Hwiccan of Witchwood. Should this be mentioned in the article? Eluchil404 12:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Why not mention it under Tolkien and link to this article. --Genie 19:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] pronunciation

How do you pronounce Hwicce? --128.176.233.18 21:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

In IPA, I would guess something like ʍɪtʃə or maybe ʍitʃə But those are a guesses. Old English pronounciation is a far from simple subject. Angus McLellan (Talk) 22:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History

Small, but important point, Britannia did not secede from the Roman Empire it was abandoned by the Roman Empire ...The Fat Contrator 17:41, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I've changed 'seceded from' to 'left' - more accurate and doen't change the sense of the sentence. The Fat Contrator 11:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

For the hell of it I'll disagree: The Roman troops in Britania elected Constitine III as Emporer, who invaded Gaul in an unsuccesful attempt for the throne. While Constine was on the continent, there was a rebellion against his tax collectors. This conicided with a major barbarian invasion across the Rhine and the rampage of the Goths from the Balkins through Italy (sack of Rome), Gaul and Spain. After all that, the empire was not able to re-establish control over either Britian (or Spain). But technically Britannia was in rebelion. Jalipa (talk) 21:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
