	Heptarchy
		This term, heptarchy, is Greek for "seven rulers", referring to the fact that between the two years mentioned above it was thought that England was divided into seven kingdoms: Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Sussex, and Wessex.
		Further, research has shown that a number of political divisions played a far more important role than were earlier thought; these kingdoms include Lindsey, the Hwicce, Magonsaete[?], Surrey, the Wihtware or inhabitants of the Isle of Wight, the Middle Angles[?], and the Gewissae[?].
		In short, this term has been considered unsatisfactory since the early twentieth century, and many historians have ceased using it, feeling it does not adequate describe the period it was meant to apply to.

		Conversely there also existed at the time a number of other political divisions which played a far more important role than was previously considered the case.
		Such were the kingdoms (or sub-kingdoms) of Lindsey (in present-day Lincolnshire), the Hwicce, the Magonsaete (in present-day Surrey), 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).

		Magonsaete was a minor sub-kingdom of the greater Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, thought to be coterminous with the Diocese of Hereford.
		The region is thought to have been preceded by the sub-kingdom of the Western Hecani, extant in the late 7th and early 8th centuries, of which three rulers are known:
		By the late 8th century, the region would seem to have been reincorporated into Mercia, perhaps as Westerna, becoming the Magonsaete by the 9th century.

		De naam Northumbria duidt het gebied ten noorden van de rivier de Humber aan.
		Het koninkrijk Mercia lag oorspronkelijk in de Trentvallei, maar wist het gebied uit te breiden ten koste van de Midden-Angelen, de Magonsaete en de Hwicce.
		Tenslotte was het gebied zo groot dat het reikte tot de Humber in het noorden, de Theems in het zuiden en Wales in het westen, waar koning Offa van Mercia zijn befaamde dijk bouwde.

		to marry Merewalh, King of the Magonsaete, whose conversion to Christianity by a Northumbrian priest is described in the prologue to the Life of St Mildburga.
		Yet, these had to be controlled since Merewalh and Domneva recognised the power of pagan forces still at work in their own society, just as modern parents are concerned about the impact of the mass media on their children.
		Such was the background from which Domneva emerged as she received the traumatic news that both her younger brothers had been murdered at Eastry and that King Egbert and his council wished her to return to her native land to receive the princes' wergild.

		Hereford at this time covered an area of approximately 40 acres and lay either side of a main street running east to west.
		It certainly appears that there was a settlement in Hereford from around 700 AD when the kingdoms of the Magonsaete and Mercia were amalgamated.
		Perhaps it was at this time that an earthen bank and ditch was constructed to contain the city.

		The districts corresponding to Shropshire and Herefordshire, along Mercia's western frontier near Wales, probably also fell under Mercian domination at this time.
		Here a king called Merewalh ruled over the Magonsaete; in later centuries it was said that Merewalh was a son of Penda, but this is considered uncertain.
		Stenton, for example, considered it likely that Merewalh was a representative of a local dynasty that continued to rule under Mercian domination.

	Mogons
		None of the hills and highlands contain the high mountains that are usually associated with mountain gods, such as the Alps, Pyrenees or Caucasus.
		Some connect ancient Magonsaete (modern Kenchester, England) with Magons, but that name more likely comes from the ancient city of Magnis in the locality.
		There is no known connection between Magons and Magnis, and the latter name, although possibly from the same root (which is not a rarely used one) can be explained in other ways.

	White Council archive \| Re: The Rohirrim and Anglo-Saxons \| Tolkien and the Inklings discussion
		After the death of Cadwallon in Battle with the Northumbrians the role was reversed and Penda of Mercia became the leader of a Brito-Mercian anti-Northumbrian alliance.
		Indeed the king of the Magonsaete (who is called Penda's "son" in the histories) went by the singular name of Merewalh.
		The name means "Illustrious Welshman" so it is more likely that its owner was a native Briton who had been drawn into the Mercian overlordship, and adopted an English nickname, rather than him being actually Penda's son.

	Conclusions
		It may be better to consider the geographic and administrative areas of the eighth century.
		The kingdom of the Magonsaete may be approximated by the diocese of Hereford and this would require south Shropshire and Herefordshire to be considered together.
		The territory of the Wroecensaete is less certain, but would include north Shropshire with probable extensions into Cheshire and Staffordshire.

		The first important Saxon fortification occurred during the 7th century, following the rise of Mercia and its incorporation of the lands of the Magonsaete, which included the present county and parts of South Shropshire.
		By 676 AD, a bishopric had been established under Bishop Putta and it is possible that the new minster replaced an earlier Celtic church.
