	East_Anglia
		East Anglia is a region of eastern England, named after one of the ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, which was named after the homeland of the Angles, Angeln in northern Germany.
		But this did not last: over the next forty years, East Anglia was defeated by the Mercians three times, and it continued to weaken relative to the other kingdoms until in 794, Offa of Mercia had its king Aethelbert killed and took control of the kingdom himself.
		Much of East Anglia (including parts of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, west Norfolk, and Suffolk), consisted of marshland and bogs until the 17th century despite the construction of early sea barriers by the Roman Empire.

	BBC - h2g2 - East Saxon Kings
		The Kings of Essex did not always acknowledge an overlord [5], and when they did it seems that that overlord had no direct authority in Essex proper as the surviving charters are not witnessed by that overlord.
		The East Saxon kings had an alliance, although sometimes an uneasy one, with the kings of Mercia from at least around 664 and perhaps before up to the mid-ninth century, perhaps extending beyond the independent history of Essex.
		King Wulfhere of Mercia sent Bishop Jaruman to "Correct their error and recall the province to the true faith" as Bede reports.

	History of East Anglia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The next memorable king of East Anglia was Anna, (definitely male) who began a family of female saints and notable abbesses.
		The last king of East Anglia was Edmund, (not to be confused with Edmund Ironside, a later King of England) born about AD 840, who became king in about 855, and in 870 faced a horde of marauding Danes, who moved through the countryside burning churches and slaughtering villages wholesale.
		On reaching East Anglia, their leaders confronted Edmund and offered him peace on condition that he would rule as their vassal and forbid the practice of the Christian faith.

	In Defence of the Wuffings: a Review of Martin Carver's Sutton Hoo: Burial Ground of Kings
		He thus presents questionable inference as fact when he asserts that the East Anglian royal eponym, Wuffa, died in "578" (p.33) and that "the earliest kings of East Anglia are recorded to have died in the late sixth century" (p.136).
		King Penda of Mercia, for example, brought about the deaths of the Wuffing kings Ecgric (or Æthelric), Sigeberht, and Anna (Bede, Historia Ecclesiastica III, 18), and his slaughter of the Northumbrian king and martyr Oswald (Bede, ibid.
		The killing of one king by another, however, is not the concern of our author, who for reasons that are unclear seems to regard some, if not all, of the odd burials at Sutton Hoo as martyrs to some sort of prior egalitarian utopia, executed by Wuffings for dissent.

	Norwich and Caistor Castles
		Thetford was the metropolis of East Anglia, but Norwich was one of its best towns, and its kings erected a royal fortress there on a promontory on the shore of the estuary of the sea, which is now in the centre of the town, and called the Castle Hill.
		The keep is 110 feet 3 inches from east to west, and 92 feet 10 inches from north to south; the height to the battlements is 69 feet 10 inches.
		On its east side there is a projecting tower called Bigod's Tower, and upon the upper ballium are the remains of two circular towers fourteen feet in diameter.

	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
		Beowulf rescues the illustrious Hroðgar, king of the Danes (at this point based mainly or wholly on the islands) from a dreadful haunting, and, on his mother's side, is the nephew of the famous Hygelac of the Geats (from what is today Swedish Götaland).
		Her name, in ordinary Anglo-Saxon, would give the nonsensical Serf of a serf or the humiliating serf of the Welshmen or Romans, unimaginable for a woman of royal blood; and it follows that, in spite of the sound, the second part of Wealhþeow cannot be the ordinary Anglo-Saxon þeow, serf, bondman.
		The effect is probably to separate East Anglia from the rest of the English settlers – Middle Anglia and the future Mercia –; where an Iceling Anglian dynasty remains ensconced.

		However, once upon a time Wood Ditton was in the borderland of two English kingdoms – Mercia and East Anglia (although by the time the border was this far east, East Anglia was rather on the way out).
		Most of the East Anglian border is well-protected by natural features, the fens further north and the forests of Essex to the south.
		Such an undertaking means many things: a boast of the power of the Kings of East Anglia; a tangible marker of the border of their kingdom; a means of controlling entry to the land during peacetime, and a line of defence in times of war.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Edmund the Martyr
		King of East Anglia, born about 840; died at Hoxne, Suffolk, 20 November, 870.
		The earliest and most reliable accounts represent St. Edmund as descended from the preceding kings of East Anglia,though, according to later legends, he was born at Nuremberg (Germany), son to an otherwise unknown King Alcmund of Saxony.
		Though only about fifteen years old when crowned in 855, Edmund showed himself a model ruler from the first, anxious to treat all with equal justice, and closing his ears to flatterers and untrustworthy informers.

	The Descent of the Anglo-Saxon Kings
		But it is the treatment that these records have received from the hands of modernist scholars that is as fascinating, and as telling, as the records themselves, and we shall here consider the veil of confusion and obscurity that modern scholarship has thrown over them.
		Ethelbert, for example, is famous as the king of Kent when Augustine landed here in AD 597 with instructions to bring the English under the dominion of the papacy.
		Rather, Aethelwulf's line is traced through that of kings who were notorious in the early annals for their paganism, and Magoun's charge, so often quoted and so revered in modernist circles, falls flat on its proverbial face.
