 | | In 897, the Danes retreated back out of the English nation into the Danelaw, the area of Britain which they held, and two years later Alfred died and was succeeded by his son Edward. |
 | | This is how the island of Britain was then divided: England was divided into two subkingdoms, Wessex (including all of the south of the Island, including Kent et al.) and West Mercia. |
 | | The Welsh princes held all of Wales, including those principalities of Powys, Gwynedd, Gwent, Morgannwg, Dfyed, etc. The Danelaw was divided into the Kingdom of York in the north, Danish Mercia in the middle, and East Anglia in the south east. |
