Kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons - Iclingas and Mercians
From circa AD 520, and the beginnings of the East Engle domination of the eastern coast, this band of Angles gradually moved into the East Midlands, alongside other groups who eventually came to be known as the Middil Engle.
From circa AD 600 the Iclingas began absorbing the Saxon and Anglian kingdoms and tribes of the eastern Midlands into their territory, and became known as Mercians, meaning Lords of the March.

 British Kingdoms of the South
The Iclingas who eventually formed Mercia and many other groups of Middil Engle (Middle Angles) were already entering the Midlands by the time of the kingdom's founding, and it seems they forced their way south from the territory of Caer Lerion in the Leicester region.
One can imagine the kingdom slowly shrinking in the face of Middle Angle advances from the east and north, eventually losing Dunstable and becoming bottled up in the Chilterns until the end came and the kingdom collapsed some time in the early 600s, either before or relatively soon after Elmet not far to the north.
By AD 500 the Middil Engle were heavily infiltrating this region in the form of the Elge, Spaldingas, Herstingas, Undalum, and Iclingas.

  British Kingdoms of the South
The Iclingas who formed Mercia were already entering the Midlands by the time of the kingdom's founding, so they must have found a way around it, most likely north through the Leicester region.
The region was settled by the Ciltern Saetan (Chiltern Saxons).
It must have fallen earlier than the kingdoms around it (even short-lived Cynwidion to the south), because the Iclingas began their westward advance from this region.
