The Kingdom of East Anglia or the Kingdom of the East Angles was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy. The kingdom was founded by Angles from Angeln in northern Germany, and initially consisted of Norfolk and Suffolk, names which possibly arose during or after the Danish settling ("North folk" and "South folk"). Upon the marriage of the East Anglian princess Æthelthryth, the Isle of Ely also became part of the kingdom. The boundaries of the region, however, are vague.

  • The Kingdom of East Anglia or the Kingdom of the East Angles was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon heptarchy. The kingdom was founded by Angles from Angeln in northern Germany, and initially consisted of Norfolk and Suffolk, names which possibly arose during or after the Danish settling ("North folk" and "South folk"). Upon the marriage of the East Anglian princess Æthelthryth, the Isle of Ely also became part of the kingdom. The boundaries of the region, however, are vague. East Anglia was of the most powerful of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms during the early 7th century, but its power subsequently waned, and over the next centuries it was often under the control of the Mercians and later the Danes. In 917 the kingdom submitted to Edward the Elder of Wessex and became the Earldom of East Anglia, which was gradually incorporated into the Kingdom of England. The modern region of East Anglia is named after it.
