The Hwicce occupied Gloucestershire and areas north of it I think - often compared to the civitas of the Dobunni. The Gewissae had their nucleus (and first bishopric) in the Upper Thames valley at Dorchester-on-Thames, and later occupied surrounding areas like North Wiltshire before moving south under Mercian pressure.
