 Raedwald of East Anglia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Raedwald's son Raegenhere was killed, the battle was a great East Anglian victory: Aethelfrith was killed, his sons fled to the north, and Edwin became king of Northumbria.
Raedwald converted to Christianity at the urging of King Ethelbert of Kent, but he is thought to have vacillated between the new religion and the old pagan beliefs.
Aethelfrith attempted to bribe Raedwald into having Edwin killed, and it is said that at first Raedwald meant to accept, but later refused after he was admonished by his wife that it would be dishonorable to murder a guest.

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.

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.

 Bretwalda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When a Bretwalda ruled over a larger kingdom, such as a Mercian ruler over East Anglia, the relationship would have been more equal than in the case of a larger kingdom ruling over a smaller one, as in the case of Mercia and Hwicce.
During this invasion and settlement the old powerful kingdoms of Northumbria, East Anglia, Essex and much of Mercia were defeated by the Vikings.
There is little evidence of the extent to which the title 'Bretwalda' was used in the Anglo-Saxon period, but it gradually fell into disuse around or after the Danish invasion of the 860s and 870s.
