England was split in to 7 Kingdoms during this period, 5 of which produced coins. These were Northumbria, Mercia, East Anglia, Kent and Wessex. Offa (king of Mercia) built a Dyke stretching from the Severn estuary to the north coast to keep the Welsh out of his kingdom. The river Thames divided Mercia & Wessex with London being occupied by both tribes at some point, likely peacefully for a time as we see joint issues of these two tribes. The Vikings successfully occupied Northumbria and East Anglia, centred in York, this must have created much unrest, many battles were fought and bribes paid. Eventually Edward The Elder, the last King of Wessex, and his son, Aethelstan united the kingdoms and a new ‘unified’ England was formed, which we still see in place today. Aethelstan created Burghs, each of which had a church and mint. The later part of this period saw kings proclaiming themselves as ‘king of all Britain(s)’ For more information on this click here.
