	Mercia
		Mercia was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy, in what is now England, in the region of the Midlands.
		Beornwulf was slain suppressing a revolt amongst the East Angles, and his successor (a former ealdormen Ludeca) held the fraying strands of Mercia together for only four more years until Egbert conquered Mercia.
		Mercia soon returned to the rule of her own king but its days as the leading power of England had passed.

	Mercia
		Mercia was one of the kingdoms of the Heptarchy, in what is now England, in the region of the Midlands.
		While the earliest known king of Mercia was named Cearl, and is only known because he gave his daughter in marriage to Edwin, king of Deira, the first Mercian king we know more about than his name is Penda, who ruled c.632 - 654.
		In 874, Danish armies invaded the region, and in 886, the eastern part of the kingdom became part of the Danelaw, while the western portion was occupied by Wessex.

	Wessex - MSN Encarta
		In the late 6th century Mercia seized from the Wessex king Cynegils (ruled 611-643) the provinces of Hwicce (modern Gloucestershire, parts of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and south Warwickshire), and from his son Cenwalh (643-672) the region that is now Oxfordshire.
		Although Mercia seems to have held southern Hampshire and the Isle of Wight at some stage in the late 7th century, Wessex continued to expand south-westward, founding a Saxon monastery at Exeter and a see at Sherborne (now in Dorset).
		This Mercian ascendancy was brought to an end when the Wessex King Egbert (ruled 802-839) not only gained control of Devon and Cornwall, but also in 825 scored a major victory over Beornwulf of Mercia and brought Surrey, Sussex, and Kent into his kingdom.

		In 829 the king conquered Mercia, and Northumbria accepted him as overlord after refusing to fight his forces at Dore (now a suburb of Sheffield).
		In 830 he led a successful expedition against the Welsh, and it was in the same year that Mercia regained its independence under Wiglaf, although it is uncertain whether this was achieved through a rebellion or was the result of a grant by Egbert to Wiglaf.
		In 836 Egbert was defeated by the Danes, but in 838 he won a battle against them and their allies the West Welsh at Hingston Down in Cornwall.

		He is the last of the descendants of King Penda to rule Mercia.

		This is probably a defeat for Mercia allowing both Kent and Sussex temporarily to regain their independence.

		It first defeated BEORHTWULF of Mercia and then turned its attention south of the Thames, where it met Athelwolf and his son ATHELBALD at a place called Acleah, somewhere in Surrey (usually associated with Ockley, though not all authorities agree).
		A few years of peace followed, and we may imagine that after the battle of Acleah Athelwolf had agreed some form of peace arrangement with the Danes, or that they sought easier places of conquest.
