+====== The Kingdom of Nessex ======
 King Harold Godwinson, the defeated King of England, arrived with a refugee fleet in the New World in late 1066 AD.  He was aiming for the Icelandic settlement in Vinland, but was blown off course, entering King Harold's Bay (what we know as the Chesapeake Bay).  The fleet made landfall and the King declared the foundation of a new kingdom on December 31, 1066.  The kingdom was dubbed Nessex (much as Wessex means West Saxons, Sussex means South Saxons, Nessex means New Saxons, i.e., New World Saxons).

 After King Godwin presented a notable gift of gold to the pope, coincidentally, the bishop of Kingston was elevated to the position of Archbishop of the New World, and oversees all the bishops of Nessex and Vinland, and various Welsh, Scottish and Irish settlements between them.  Each one of the shires of Nessex has its own bishop and each Hundred has its own parish priest.
