Notes

1. 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, 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.
