The foundation of the Kingdom of Sussex is recorded by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle it says that Ælle arrived at a place called Cymenshore in three ships with his three sons and killed or put to flight the local inhabitants. The foundation story is regarded as somewhat of a myth by most historians, although the archaeology suggests that Saxons did start to settle in the area in the late 5th century.[6][7] The Kingdom of Sussex was absorbed into Wessex as an earldom and became the county of Sussex.
