The Kingdom of East Anglia

Introduction of the East Anglia Kingdom The famous Sutton Hoo near Sawfordshire Woodbridge is the earliest Anglo-Saxon shipyard found in 1939 in the 7th century. Sutton Hoo was very underestimated in British history for a while, so it was very important for the early medieval historians. Otherwise there was little evidence recorded. Indeed, it is one of the most famous ruins in the UK due to its size, age, distant connection, overall beauty, rarity, historical importance.

This period was called turkey, but this term is no longer used for academic purposes. This term will emerge because the seven kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia, Kent, East Anglia, Essex, Sussex, Wessex are the major regimes of the South Britain. Meanwhile, there were other small kingdoms, politically important ones: Hwicce, Magonsaeete, Lindsey and Middle Anglia. The first landing record of Viking occurred in 787 located in Dorset on the coast of the southwest. The first big attack in the UK was in the 793 years Anglo - Saxon chronicle of the Lindisfarne Abbey. However by that time Viking had almost definitely matured in the Orkney and Shetland Islands and it is possible that many other undocumented attacks have ever occurred. The record shows the first Viking attack against Iona in 794. The arrival of Vikings (especially Denmark's Pagan Army) confused the political and social geography of England and Ireland.

The attack has evolved into a permanent settlement in Denmark, in 866 Viking occupied York and established its own kingdom in the southern part of Mysovia. Viking beat the other two major Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, East Anglia and Mercia. Their king was tortured to death or escaped. Finally, in 870, the Danish attacked the only remaining independent independent Anglo-Saxon kingdom, Wessex. In the Ashdown fight in 871, Alfred repelled the Viking Army with a very heavy uphill attack. But Wessex and Alfred's brothers have failed even after that.
