<!--Home to the poets Swinburne and Tennyson and to Queen Victoria, who built her much-loved summer residence and final home Osborne House at East Cowes, the island has a maritime and industrial tradition including boat building, sail making, the manufacture of flying boats, the world's first hovercraft, and the testing and development of Britain's space rockets. The Isle hosts annual festivals including the Isle of Wight International Jazz Festival, Bestival and the recently revived Isle of Wight Festival, which, in 1970, was the largest rock music event ever held.[1] The island has well-conserved wildlife and some of the richest cliffs and quarries for dinosaur fossils in Europe.-->

During the Late Iron Age, the Isle of Wight would appear to have been occupied by the Celtic tribe, the [[Durotriges]] - as attested by finds of their coins, for example, the South Wight Hoard,<ref>Williams, Jonathan; Hill, J.D.[http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/216933], Portable Antiquities Scheme,  Record ID: IOW-38B400.</ref><ref>The Isle of Wight Ingot Hoard [http://www.artfund.org/what-we-do/art-weve-helped-buy/artwork/9645/the-isle-of-wight-ingot-hoard] The Art Fund</ref> and the Shalfleet Hoard.<ref>Leins,Ian; Joy, Jody; Basford, Frank [http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/267811 ], Portable Antiquities Scheme,  Record ID: IOW-EAAFE2.</ref>

Se Rōmānisca stǣrwrītere [[Suetonius]] namode, þe sēo hāle īeg wæs gefangen fram mentions that the entire island was captured by the commander [[Vespasian]], who later became emperor. The remains of at least five [[Roman villa]]s have been found on the island, including one near [[Gurnard, Isle of Wight|Gurnard]] which is submerged.

At the end of the [[Roman Empire]], the island of Vectis became a [[Jutes|Jutish]] kingdom ruled by King [[Stuf]] and his successors until AD 661 when it was invaded by [[Wulfhere of Mercia|Wulfhere]] of [[Mercia]] and forcibly converted to Christianity. When he left for Mercia the islanders reverted to paganism.

In AD 685 it was invaded by [[Caedwalla of Wessex|Caedwalla]] of [[Wessex]] and can be considered to have become part of Wessex. The resistance to the invasion was led by the local King [[Arwald]] and after he was defeated and slain, at Caedwalla's insistence, Wight became the last part of England to convert to [[Christianity]] in AD 686.<ref>[http://freespace.virgin.net/iw.history/archive/newsjul5.htm#news  ''Saxon Graves at Shalfleet''], Isle of Wight History Centre, August, 2005</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britannia.com/history/narsaxhist.html |title=''England, A Narrative History'', Peter N.

Harding</ref>  Following [[Alfred the Great]]'s (reigned 871 - 899) making of the West Saxon kings the kings of all England, it then became part of England. The island became part of the [[shire]] of [[Hampshire]] and was divided into [[hundred (country subdivision)|hundreds]] as was the norm.  From this time the island suffered especially from [[Viking]] [[wikt:predation|predations]]. Alfred the Great's navy defeated the [[Danes (Germanic tribe)|Danes]] in 871 after they had "ravaged Devon and the Isle of Wight".-->
