Kingdom of Essex
The kingdom of the East Saxons (; (ラテン語:Regnum Orientalium Saxonum)), today referred to as the Kingdom of Essex, was one of the seven traditional kingdoms of the so-called Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy.〔The Latin name was used, for instance, by William of Malmesbury.〕 It was founded in the 6th century and covered the territory later occupied by the counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and (for a short while) Kent. Kings of Essex were frequently subservient to foreign overlords. The last king of Essex was Sigered and in 825, he ceded the kingdom to Egbert of Wessex.
==Extent==
The kingdom was bounded to the north by the River Stour and the Kingdom of East Anglia, to the south by the River Thames and Kent, to the east lay the North Sea and to the west Mercia. The territory included the remains of two provincial Roman capitals Colchester and London. The early kingdom included the land of the Middle Saxons,〔Keightley, A., ''The History of England'', (1840)〕 later Middlesex, most if not all of Hertfordshire〔Yorke, B., ''Kings and Kingdoms of Early Anglo-Saxon England'',(1984) pp47-52〕 and may at times have included Surrey.〔John Baker, ''Cultural Transition in the Chilterns and Essex Region (University of Hertfordshire Press, 2005)〕 For a brief period in the 8th century, the Kingdom of Essex controlled what is now Kent.
The modern English county of Essex maintains the historic northern and the southern borders, but only covers the territory east of the River Lea, the other parts being lost to neighbouring Mercia during the 8th Century.〔
In the Tribal Hidage it is listed as containing 7,000 hides.
