300px|thumb|The Magonsæte kingdom Magonsæte was a minor sub-kingdom of the greater Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, thought to be coterminous with the Diocese of Hereford.
The former territory of the Cornovii tribe was conquered by Oswiu of Northumbria in 656, while he was overlord of the Mercians. The west of this region was then occupied by Anglian groups. One group based itself at the old Roman town of Magnae or (Old Welsh) Cair Magon, modern Kenchester near Hereford.
