Regents of East Anglia
East Anglia was the most easterly of the Anglo-Saxon
kingdoms (see map on this page). It is most
likely the kings of East Anglia's
who are buried in the two ship burial fields in Sutton Hoo from the
sixth century and the beginning of the seventh century. These are
exactly the same type of graves found in Vendel and Valsgärde in Sweden
and they are a testimony of a connection between the kings of East Anglia and
Sweden. At the end of the ninth century East Anglia was conquered by Danish Vikings, who later lost it to Wessex
when this kingdom unified England. Thereafter East Anglia was an earldom
until the Norman conquest 1066.
