	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.
		Archaeology seems to confirm that Mercia was settled from East Anglia and Lindsey with pure cremation cemeteries (cemeteries with no inhumation at all) leading from East Anglia and Lindsey into the Midlands along the Welland river valley, along the Ickneid Way, and up the Trent.
