HEPTARCHY (Gr. 1rra seven, and apxi, rule)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 306 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HEPTARCHY (Gr. 1rra seven, and apxi, rule) , a word which is frequently used to designate the period of
English
  history between the coming of the Anglo-
Saxons
  in 449 and the
union
  of the kingdoms under
Ecgbert
  in 828. It was first used during the 16th
century
  because of the belief held by Camden and other older historians, that during this period there were exactly seven kingdoms in England, these being Northumbria, Mercia,
East
  Anglia,
Essex
 ,
Kent
 , Sussex and Wessex. This belief is erroneous, as the number of kingdoms varied consider-ably from time to time; nevertheless the word still serves a useful purpose to denote the period.
