[edit] Notes
- Though East Anglia is traditionally perceived to have been in the heptarchy it was a largely independent kingdom until its conquest by the Danes in 870. All other members of the heptarchy, apart from Mercia and Northumbria, had been conquered by Wessex and by this time had no form or king. Mercia was unique in its maintenance of an independent dynasty during the heptarchy.
- Northumbria was conquered in 867 by Halfdan, Ivar the Boneless and their Danish Great Heathen Army. They imposed a puppet king on the state. Immediately prior to conquest a dynastic dispute was occurring which weakened the kingdom.
