 ====== 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).

+The first settlement was called [[Kingston]] (where in our world Baltimore lies) and grew over the last 64 years into a city of 8000 people.  Immigration to the kingdom has been rapid and constant.   The reaction of the native English to Norman rule in England caused large numbers of English to emigrate to the New World.  Likewise, adventurers and younger sons of the knightly and noble classes found the New World a place to follow dreams of glory.   Landless farmers and refugees found the idea of vacant land appealing as well.  Immigration accelerated after King Godwin discovered an Atlantean Ruin in 1072 and recovered a large store of gold, which he used to shore up the defenses of the kingdom (including the stone walls around Kingston) and to spread the word of the riches of the new lands.
