Comments: Dorset or Dorsetshire is a county on the southern coast of England. Originally a Britano-Celtic kingdom, it was subdued by the Romans in the first Century A.D. The fall of the Roman Empire saw the region --Dornsaeta-- remaining in Romano-British hands well into the seventh century. It was then incorporated into Wessex, which in turn became the Kingdom of England. Ecclesiastical authority is vested in the Archbishop of Canterbury . Although the soil is relatively poor, the province is well watered and the climate rather mild. There is little industry, but the province produces grains, wine, and sheep in some abundance, and there is some fishing along the coast.
