Mercia
This kingdom in central England between Northumbria and Wessex was founded c
585. It declined after the death of Offa in 796 and was eventually absorbed by
Wessex. In 873, King Burhred was driven out by the Danes who settled in East
Mercia in 877, leaving West Mercia to Ceolwulf, their puppet king. His reign
ended about 883 and Ealdorman Ethelred acknowledged Alfred the Great of Wessex
as overlord.
