After the Roman evacuation of Britain in the early fifth century began the Celtic inhabitants to employ Germanic mercenaries to defend themselves. These later seized power and initiated a migration of Germanic peoples to Britain which would wipe out, displace or assimilate the Celtic population. The start of the Germanic invasion has traditionally been dated to AD 449 and it comprised mainly of three tribes, namely Saxons, Angles and Jutes. These tribes eventually formed several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of which the more long-lasting, and thus more famous, were the so called Heptarchy. The oldest kingdom was Kent, where the Jutes settled (they also created a kingdom on the Isle of Wight which was conquered by Wessex). The Saxons are associated with three kingdoms called Wessex (West Saxons), Sussex (South Saxons) and Essex (East Saxons). The Angles from who England is named after is said to have formed the kingdoms of Mercia, East Anglia and Northumbria
The lists records the kings of the smaller kingdoms of Essex, Sussex and Kent. The other kingdoms have their own pages with links to them under the map. Be aware that all early dates are approximate since very little is know of the Anglo-Saxons oldest history.
