 Creoda of Mercia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Creoda is recorded as having been the son of Cynewald, the grandson of Cnebba, and the great-grandson of Icel; consequently, members of the Mercian royal line were known as Iclingas.
Although this suggests that Creoda was only a fourth-generation descendant of the first Angles in England, the sources nevertheless record him as having been the first ruler of the Kingdom of Mercia.
One explanation for this is that the Mercians had initially settled further east and only moved into the area of what became known as Mercia in the time of Creoda.

 Kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons - Iclingas & Mercians
The Iclingas eventually become known by the March (border) territory they are conquering, and Mercia evolves into a major Anglo-Saxon kingdom.
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.
By this time, Mercia had absorbed the Saxon kingdoms of the Wrocenset and Magonset (occupying the rest of the territory of former British Pengwern) to the west, and much of the Middle Angles to the east.

It existed as a kingdom from the 6th century until the emergence of the English state in the 9th century, and as an earldom between 1016 and 1066.
While in later France the kingdom became hereditary, the kings of the later Holy Roman Empire proved unable to abolish the elective tradition and continued as elected rulers until the Empire's formal end in 1806.
Because the Frankish kingdom dominated Western Europe for centuries, terms derived from "Frank" were used by many in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and beyond as a synonym for Roman Christians (e.g., al-Faranj in Arabic, Feringhee or Feringhi in Hindustani, Falangji in Chinese, and Frangos in Greek).

 Heptarchy - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The word heptarchy refers to the existence (as was thought) of the seven kingdoms which eventually merged to become the Kingdom of England during the early 10th century, and comprising Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex, and Wessex.
Such were the kingdoms (or sub-kingdoms) of Lindsey (in present-day Lincolnshire), the Hwicce, the Magonsaete or Magonset (in present-day Surrey; a sub-kingdom within Mercia), the Wihtware (from whence the Isle of Wight), the Middle Angles, the Haestingas (from whence Hastings in Sussex) and the Gewissae (which became the kingdom of Wessex).
Certainly the term Heptarchy has been considered unsatisfactory since the early twentieth century, and many historians have ceased using it, feeling it does not adequately describe the period to which it refers.

Although the British kingdoms of the north and west of Britain were established by the turn of the 5th century, the structure of the south and east is much less certain, and the area could have been ripe for territorial gains.
Some of the descendants of the northern king, Coel Hen, appear to have moved south into this potential vacuum and made their mark on the Midlands of Britain, probably once British central administration had collapsed (with the death of Arthur?).
Pressure from the incoming Ciltern Saetan and the Iclingas forces the kingdom into collapse around this time.

and the kingdom was never renewed in his stock, because none of his race escaped from that battle, but they were all slain with him by the army of Catguollaun, king of the region of Gwynedd.
Hengist is a supposititious figure, possibly added from Bede (ii, 5), who also says, “Æthelbert was the son of Eormenric, whose father was Octa, whose father was Oeric, surnamed Oisc, from whom the Kings of Kent are often called Oiscingas.” The last statement is basic for a study of the foundations of the Kentish kingdom.

That is to say, he was 'So-and-so of the Wall's End,' and had got to be known by the latter designation instead of his own nomen, which is not recorded, for the reason, possibly, that it was so Brythonic as not to admit of being readily reduced into an Anglian or Latin form.
Here one is tempted to perpetrate a little glottologic alchemy by changing I into n, and to suppose Iclingas the form taken in English by the name of the ancient people of the Iceni.
The name Icel, whose genitive Icles is the form in the original life, has probably been inferred from the longer word Iclingas, and inserted in due course in the Mercian pedigree, where it occupies the sixth place in descent from Woden.
