	A History of Mercia
		Mercia was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom founded by some of the Germanic tribe of the Angles (in their own tongue Engles) based in the Midlands of what is now England sometime in the 6th century.
		The origins of Mercia are lost in the period of the Anglo-Saxon migrations to Great Britain from 420 CE to 600 CE.
		This would seem to indicate that at least some of the Anglo-Saxon peoples of Mercia were in some way related to those of East Anglia and Lindsey, and thus had migrated from those places.
